Next in the quiet details series, I’m very happy to present an incredible album from two deeply synchronised musicians - Danny Wolfers, aka Legowelt, here as Smackos; and his wife, Dim Garden - with Serenity Commando

Danny is a legendary figure in the world of electronic music - coming from The Hague and, since the 90s, releasing a huge body of work covering a vast range of electronic soundscapes, visual art, animation, zines and more - a creative force with few parallels. Multitudes of aliases and releases on some of the top labels in their respective scenes (Clone, his own Nightwind Records and many more) - live performances all over the world in many different environments - all making him one of the most essential and much-loved artists of recent years.

Dim Garden is an ultra-creative artist too - also from The Hague and with a string of wonderful releases on labels such as Yarrow Ballet, Hunger!, Clone, ERR REC and others. Sonic excursions into noise, industrial, synth, ambient, field recordings and more - inspired by nature, metaphysics and the sublime - she’s a musician that fascinates and amazes with every new step.

The first Smackos & Dim Garden album, The Art of the DX7, showcased their combined musical talents, and her unique vocals and poetry.

Serenity Commando is an album inspired by journeys in the 'quiet places that connect the land’ - a psychedelic and kaleidoscopic trip through their shared experiences.

As Smackos, Danny has always explored the most hallucinatory corners of synth music - vaporwave, ambient, electro, witch house - it’s unique and defies categorisation. Combined with the production skills, beautiful lyrics and delivery of Dim Garden - we’re presented with music of wonderful depth and transcendental potential.

Starting with rippling synthetic chords and textures, soon joined by vocal harmonies - elevating sonics taking us further into their visions, entrancing and totally immersive. This mesmerising melodic sensibility continues throughout the entire album - a masterwork showing the range of electronic instruments and human vocalisation, and how, when in the hands of such a visionary pair, it can reach the most radiant heights.

From sections of huge atmospheric expanses, to rhythmic harmonic movements and beyond - it’s my great pleasure to share this stunning album with you.

Endless thanks to Smackos and Dim Garden.

The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album - originating from an image from Smackos and Dim Garden, an original artwork by Danny, which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.

As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.

The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, unique and representing the music in its purest form.
