Cid Rim - Songs Of Vienna (WHITE VINYL)

A psychedelic ride from the Austrian capital! Encompassing modern electronics, choral pop and contemporary jazz - Clemens Bacher returns as CID RIM. His last album, Material, was awarded BBC 6Music Album of the Day achieving as many as four ‘A-list’ singles. He won a Gilles Peterson Worldwide Award, and attended Africa Express with Damon Alburn and Brian Eno. Collaborator to Petite Noir, Okmalumkoolkat and Denai Moore, he caught attention from show-stopping mixes for Sky Ferreira, Chvrches and The 1975. CID RIM grew up the keystone of the vital club scene of Vienna alongside close friends Dorian Concept and The Clonious. For ‘Songs of Vienna’ he relocated to London and crafted a new formula which reconciles kraut, psychedelia and jazz into detailed electronic pop. Behind his impressionistic vocals lie themes exploring Vienna’s privileged place in the world: a safe haven for the European project rich with imperial history & culture. It was only here in the early 21st century that Clemens and his friends could forge this hyper-specific club scene which still refuses category. While the Earth heats up beneath our feet many find comfort in art that’s safe and retro. But on this postmodern masterpiece, CID RIM is daring to take a leap forward. LUCKYME® are proud to present... Songs of Vienna.
