Hans-Peter Lindstrøm has more than a decade’s easy-going electronic percolation to his name. Lumbered with the “space disco” tag thanks to his love of an analogue synth wobble, Lindstrøm’s output can include 10-minute workouts of an avant-garde Boredoms track or the sort of polite female vocals people expect to hear on unthreatening dance tunes – Grace Hall’s pleasantries on Shinin’ fit that bill on his fourth solo album while the infinitely more interesting Jenny Hval crops up on a superior Bungl (Like a Ghost). Strip away the vocals, though, and these tracks – even Shinin’ – are powerful perpetual motion machines indebted as much to jazz (Under Trees) and house (Tensions) as disco; you want to start singing Don’t You Want Me by the Human League at the start of Spire.
