Classics Vol 1
With Classics Vol. 1, Modeselektor release a special album that functions like a musical résumé. Szary and Gernot originally intended to re-record old tracks from their first two albums, Hello Mom! and Happy Birthday!, but what began as a reconstruction transformed almost entirely into something new: a fresh collection of pieces that captures the spirit of their early releases without simply copying them.
The duo looks back while simultaneously creating the future. Tracks like âKill Bill Vol. 4â, âEdgarâ and other album titles serve as source material and are repeatedly disassembled and reassembled, reinterpreted and ultimately used, in most cases, only as abstract inspiration. The result is a retrospective that has emancipated itself. A bold experiment, a failed attempt in the very best sense.
Classics Vol. 1 thus forges an unexpected bridge between then and now, encapsulating everything that defines Modeselektor: curiosity, chaos, humour and an unwavering need to constantly uncover new facets of their own history. And what could be more fitting for reflection, renewed creative momentum and energy than a tour?
