MODERAT SHARE “MORE LOVE” VIDEO AHEAD OF MORE D4TA ALBUM
MONKEYTOWN RECORDS
Moderat, the trio of Sascha Ring (of Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert & Sebastian Szary (of Modeselektor), have just shared βMORE LOVE,β the third single from their upcoming fourth album MORE D4TA (scheduled for release on May 13). A luminescent slice of electronic pop, MORE LOVE is a celebration of life. Palpably warm and bathed in lush static, the song is partly inspired by Botticelliβs Venus; a stark painting situated across from his iconic The Birth of Venus at Berlinβs GemΓ€ldegalerie, it depicts the radiant goddess standing completely alone, naked and newly arrived in the world. Itβs a potent image, and as vocalist Sascha Ring β who frequently visited the museum over the past two years β swirled it around in his mind, he began to dream up a similar vision of a woman dancing alone at night, her inner vitality lighting up the merciless dark.
As for the music, like most of the songs on MORE D4TA, also MORE LOVE was born out of experimentation, as Moderat literally spent months diving into their modular rig and exploring the outer reaches of their sound. The trackβs glittering arpeggios emerged from that process, as did the soaring weltraumschrott (translation: βspace junkβ) that takes flight during the songβs evocative (and Vocoder-drenched) chorus. Much like the woman from Ringβs imagination, MORE LOVE is beaming with light, and thereβs no dampening its inherent glow.
