Great stuff can come into existence when the elements for a seemingly unlikely combination are chosen unconsciously. With a little bit of luck this can make sense as is the case with Teamforest's debut single for Morr Music. A meeting of a long forgotten New Zealandish lo-fi-pop attitude with rattling electronica beats and sounds plus a few not so very hip instruments like banjo or synthie trumpets can actually result in something like a classic pop song with a finely tuned melody with just the right melancholic note. It gets its own special charms through the use of the electronic elements with the lo-fi attitude in mind – it's about the spontaneity of the moment that ideally lasts forever.
The b-side shows an even moodier aspect of Teamforest. Pure electronic melancholy with a slight shimmer of hope, all the while it grooves relaxingly like a respectful tribute to Boards of Canada.
The man behind Teamforest is Philipp Bueckle from Dortmund, Germany who has so far released a handful of singles on various labels, contributed to some compilations and did remixes for acts as different as Missouri and Kinderzimmer Productions. His previous projects include the post-rock-band Jefferson and the noise-drone of Forest.
