Skyphone

Avellaneda 2008 Runegrammofon



Immaculately designed, with a modernist cool that still has room for the fallibly human.



Wire



Skyphone's Avellaneda may be the most beautiful near-pop record of 2008.

Deserving of all of the hype, Skyphone confirms why Scandinavia is still at the forefront of avant-garde electro-acoustic music.

Fabula 2004 Runegrammofon



From a few reviews of Fabula:



Othermusic.com (US)

"Fans of Boards Of Canada and Kompakt's Pop Ambient Series will most certainly dig this incredibly beautiful, understated, and mature record. Perfect late night headphone listening, or for closing your eyes and relaxing on the subway ride home from work."



Wire (UK)

"…the trios collective background in rock, dub and electronica has been an invaluable apprenticeship, as Skyphone combine these elements into a confident and convincingly distinctive hybrid. Fabula offers up diffident melodies conjured from acoustic guitars and analogue synths, crisply fluctuating digital percussion, feathery skeins of sampled texture and a wonderfully, almost fairytale sense of immersion."



Fader (JP)

"Beautiful and transparent acoustic guitar, the various sound of synthesizer, comfortable and impressive electronics are mixed in a delicate balance. A prominent instrumental album with cool beat like Mapstation as well as pastoral and melancholic melody."



BBC (UK)

"While walking in the interior of a hot country you stumble upon a small, secluded lake. On an impulse you strip off all your clothes, swim into the centre of the lake and turn onto your back. You float there feeling the hot sun on your body, the blue sky filtering through your closed eyelids. Fabula."
