Arovane - Lilies

Arovane's fourth album Lilies now resumes the human/warm approach of Tides. The fragmented structures of the rhythms are open to every listener, on their expanses everybody can find company, their tracks are cautious, thoughtful, and questioning. Because Uwe was taken with the friendliness and courtesy of the people in Japan - modes of behaviour which always have the potential to surprise, particularly for someone living in Berlin. Furthermore, he was fascinated with the Japanese way of reconciling progressive drive and tradition-consciousness. Both poles are found on Lilies too, then: In the abstract computer funk of the beats and in the approachability of the samples of traditional instruments, such as the sound of a piano, or the voice of Japanese singer Kazumi, being in fact the first to fill an Arovane album with vocals.
