interview
Taking into account that you were never
still in recent times, what kind of birth and
growth have had the songs on this album?
In fact, the songs on this first album are the
result of a long work process, rather uneven
and definitely creative. In the sense that none
of us thought at first to conceive an album.
When there was going to write a song, we
wrote. And we wrote using the tools at that
time, that given day, we had available. Then it
happened - at times - to create wacky drafts
between synthesizers, strictly lo-fi filters and
pedals (we were almost always surrounded
by cables, wires, electrical sockets hanging
out in the room) to give birth to a melodic or
rhythmic cell to be developed; other times,
however, everything started from a bass or
guitar as of Lorraine and Bodyguard. In every
season we can say, a couple of songs, and
perhaps in the tracks that you perceive.
Why did you choose “Androgynous Love”
as the first track and as a single?
It is the song that resembles more to us. It
does not take itself too seriously, however,
has all the credentials to be taken very seriously. Rhythmically and melodically it is quite
eye-catching, seems to pop but it’s not, it looks funky but not quite, a bit 90s, but only in
part. Let’s say that it is probably the song most
of the beach disco party, and listened to the
evening by the sea with beer and cocktail in
hand makes her curvaceous figure.
How is it born “Lorraine”?
Two versions were designed. On the record
there is of course the official version, the first
born. On the web and in our previous ep you
can hear a soft version, electronics, intimate
and minimal. Lorraine from Cosmic Youth
came to light an autumn morning two years
ago, from a bass to which we sticked a guitar
riff and an improvisation vocoder. “Wow”

on the table
Denis The Night & The Panic Party can
always reserve some good surprise. Many of
them contained in a work like Cosmic Youth,
first LP, which comes after very prestigious
experiences on international stages such as
Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Indie
Music Week in Manchester, Liverpool Sound
City. We did an interviewed with them.
Behind you there are eps, international
experiences of great prestige, but now here
it comes lp...
We had this record ready for a while, to be
honest, but we preferred to launch side pills and outputs, remixes, featuring, resulting
from our artistic encounters and make lo_fi
versions, if anything, even of the same tracks,
8
waiting for someone to start to wait a bit for
this work. The concerts and international
outputs are growing, someone wants a lp of
Denis in the house really?! There it is! Meanwhile, we are already ‘beginning to work
on the new album. What will be will decide
as things happen. No plans on the table, as
always!
