Dinner Announces New Album 'New Work', Airs "Un-American Woman"

Danish-born/L.A-based pop artist Dinner (aka Anders Rhedin), has announced the release of his second full-length album titled 'New Work'.

The follow-up to last year's Psychic Lovers, will be out on September 8 via Captured Tracks.

According to the press release, for this record, Rhedin battled his own perfectionism by pushing himself to collaborate more, think less, and work at a high pace throughout a short and intense period of late-night recording sessions. New Work features collaborations with artists like Charlie Hilton of Blouse and Sean Nicholas Savage.

Dinner enlisted Josh da Costa (Regal Degal, Ducktails) to produce the album with him. He and Josh worked in the nighttime at off-hours at a studio in an industrial part of downtown LA. The album’s songs were recorded on the spot with no preparation time. In-between studio sessions, Dinner recorded and overdubbed material in his apartment on an early 80’s 4-track recorder. “We did very little editing, we just tried to record what was there. You’ll hear a lot of first-takes on the record. The best part of the process was driving home early in the morning though the empty streets of LA, listening to the night’s recordings. Because it was such an immediate experience.”

Dinner have also aired the album's first single "Un-American Woman" today with a video shot in Las Vegas that features Mac DeMarco's brother Hank dancing with his ballet troupe.

In writing "Un-American Woman" (and much of the album), Rhedin was inspired by William Blake's Proverbs of Hell. "'Un-American Woman' is a song I wrote just before I stopped going out, just before I stopped sleeping around with women," he says. "The song seems to be about disillusionment and a fear of being stuck in a certain lifestyle. But it also touches upon the potential transformational aspects of 'bad things.' Nothing's black or white, good or bad. There is just lifeforce moving. A constant movement. 'The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom,' in the words of Blake. I lifted that line for the song, of course."

Dinner Announces Debut LP 'Psychic Lovers', Streams "Turn Me On"

Danish pop artist Dinner (aka Anders Rhedin), has announced he will release his debut album titled  'Psychic Lovers', on April 1st via Captured Tracks

One could argue that there’s something inherently idiosyncratic about Dinner’s music—like the world’s most unlikely pop artist. Sometimes Dinner sounds like a long-lost mixtape from the local Dusseldorf  pop scene in the early 1980s. Other times he sounds something like the soundtrack to David Lynch directing Miami Vice, or Genesis P-Orridge embracing Italian pop-infused Danish darkwave, or like a male descendant of Nico singing Eno-esque pop songs on discarded Julian Cope tracks.

Musically, the album exists in its own space between the 80's, 90's and the present. The songs are pop songs held together by somewhat idiosyncratic arrangements.

Rhedin has also shared the album's excellent lead single "Turn Me On".
