Ahead of his forthcoming album on Beatservice Records, Aleksander Kostopoulos serves up the first of three new singles. A masterclass in emotive songwriting, 'Kograe' merges earthly tones with explorative electronics.

Arve Henriksen's deft trumpet intertwines in a ghostly dance with the cello of Ragnhild Tronsmo Haugland and Kostopoulos' reverberating piano. Gradually the glitching beats join the rhythm as a driving kick guides the journey. The night falls, the tempo drops and the elements disperse back into their electronic ether.
