[Indie for dummies] Rangleklods / Young and dumb

 

 Rangleklods - Young and dumb

Rangleklods's work was initially sketched out in home country Denmark, but became greatly colored by moving to Berlin in early 2010, where routines were forgotten and the vast and eclectic scene sought out. Rangleklods's sound consists of recorded instruments and analogue gear alongside purely digital and intensely programmed patterns intertwining into audioscapes ranging from minimal to 'Wall of Sound'. Both in that regard and composition-wise Rangleklods points just as much backwards towards Pet Sounds and Doors as it does forwards, animated by ie. James Holden and The Field.

you owned the crowd the moment

you stepped through the door into teenage awe

i hid my lust in cold hands

as you told a friend about your discontents

i pretended not to care at all

browsed through posters on the walls

trying to find a courage i knew i didn’t possess

/

got drunk and lost attention

so i jumped a bit when i saw you sit

right next to me and though we didn’t

share a single word i felt weirdly heard

/

by the girl i thought i loved

god i was so young and dumb

where are you now and who could you be talking too?

/

eventually I did what i’ve done ever since then

explained my state without hope, turned and got far away

forgot about her in weeks i’d found somebody else

to rest my nervous eyes upon concealing myself

/

all these girls i thought i loved

guess i’m just as young and dumb

all these girls i thought i loved

i’m tired of always giving up

and that’s why i only do girls i barely just like

/

the reason i want you

is because i can’t have you

it’s because i can’t have you

that’s the reason i want you
