Only a few months after his Grammy-nominated Weather was released, Scott Hansen is already back in our speakers with a new album which he considers to be the former’s younger sibling. Here, he has set out to ‘reimagine’ the tracks from the album on which he included voices for the first time. As if to make the lineage of the albums obvious, this one’s opener is the namesake of the former. “My whole career, I always wanted to make a vocal record. So once I had done that, it felt like I was free of that goal, and then I could distill the ideas that inspired Weather and translate those into another language for Simulcast”, he explains. It’s a language his fans know off by heart: this record was made with his most loyal followers in mind, as well as those that were perhaps taken aback last summer’s release, who will be pleased to rediscover the producer’s warmth and talent for adapting the guitar to electronic music on Simulcast. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
