« … Even Though You’re With Another Girl » is the second single taken from Anders Trentemøller’s wonderful second studio-album « Into The Great Wide Yonder » which has just been released in June 2010.
The new single with the beautiful vocals of Josephine Phillip (Darkness Falls, Ja Confetti) is released in September with remixes by Pantha Du Prince and Kollektiv Turmstrasse and alternative versions from Mikael Simpson (available on a limited edition 7-inch) and Anders Trentemøller.
The new music video for the new single Eventhough is more like a surreal short story than a video. It is directed by Adam Hashemi, a Danish film director.
« … Even Though You’re With Another Girl » follows it’s own structure which is very unlike the other songs you hear on the radio. The film bases its narration on that same structure, creating an almost operatic feel.
All in all, this is an experiment in the art of video making, and it will be up to an audience to say whether it is a successful experiment or not.

Danish musician Anders Trentemøller is to release his eagerly awaited second artist album in June 2010.
Entitled “Into The Great Wide Yonder” the second full length by the remarkably talented Copenhagen based musician will drop on Trentemøller’s own label “In My Room”.
Having started his career in the electronic scene with an array of groundbreaking yet classic singles in the early 2000’s his music always broke genre-barriers. Alongside his single-hits Trentemøller became famous for his remixes and the “Trentemøller twist” he added to songs by Depeche Mode, Franz Ferdinand, Röyksopp, The Knife and many more.
The multi-award-winning debut album “The Last Resort” (Poker Flat Recordings, 2006) remains one of the most loved independent albums and is highly appreciated for its abundance of musical ideas and its outstanding songwriting.
Followed by “The Trentemøller Chronicles”-album (Audiomatique 2008) Trentemøller’s most recent release is his first ever Mix-CD “Harbour Boat Trips 01: Copenhagen” (hfn music, 2009) which takes the listener on a roundtrip through Trentemøller’s own secret musicbox and melts Electronica, Neo-Folk, Indie-Rock, Psychedelia and beyond.
We are not going to spoil the surprise, but the new album is far more than a logical progression from Anders Trentemøller’s past work. It opens yet another overwhelming new “soundcosmos” in the artist’s very own songwriting and production and is too good to be forced into one single genre alone. It offers a wealth of brilliant melodies and musical ideas and uses many different instruments including electronic and accoustic guitars, strings, theremin, a bass mandolin and many electronics with a playful easiness that is seldomly heard. The new album also features four vocal tracks which seemlessly fall into a simply brilliant and beautiful album that needs to be listened as a whole.
Many fellow musicians and friends contributed their skills not only to the music, but also for the artwork which has been done by design artists Henrik Vibskov and Andreas Emenius or the first video which has been directed by Jesper Just.
