TERRANOVA returns to the fore with the HEADACHE EP, another impressive assortment of floor-ready house weaponry – after the sublime sophistication of the PAINKILLER EP (KOMPAKT 262) and its accompanying remixes (FM X/PAIN 001), the new material shoves the pendulum back into more rugged club territory, showcasing the sort of sonic urgency and rawness the legendary project has become known for in the first place. As missing links between the dystopian pop of TERRANOVA’s turn-of-the-century work and the slick kinetic drama of their current incarnationon Kompakt, the three cuts of the HEADACHE EP congenially continue the multilayered, nifty thrustof 2012’s house nouveau epic HOTEL AMOUR(KOMPAKT 248 CD 95), but also manage to evoke the wonderstruck immediacy of an act burning through its first speakers. This becomes particularly manifest with the deployment of CATH COFFEY as vocalist fortitle track HEADACHE (also a primer for TERRANOVA’s upcoming full-length). A member of iconic British rap outfit Stereo MCs in the early 90s and collaborator of Tricky, the singer was featured on TERRANOVA’s initial outings and is a well established presence in their early work. On the new 12″, she reintroduces her uniquebrand of battle-hardened, deadpan soulfulness to the searing funk of the reinvigorated project. HEADACHE, a cover of a song from Birmingham’s iconic and controversial postpunk outfit The Au Pairs, as well as its instrumental sequel HEADLOCK are both fuelled by the propulsive beats and upscale hooks we’ve grown to expect from TERRANOVA, but there seems to be something else at work, too – a somewhat darker undercurrent that may or may not be part of the actual arrangement. In any case, this adds much-needed depth to today’s dance floors, providing them with a riveting soundtrack for the most intense of prime times. There’s no need for EP closer TOURETTE to hide behind its compatriots, either: it’s a full-blown thrill ride in its own right, brimming with jittery sampling, arresting percussion and some pretty rad bassline abrasiveness thrown in for good measure. A well-placed shot at the dancer’s solar plexus, this wraps up the HEADACHE EP nicely, giving players and punters another perfectly valid reason for post-apocalyptic celebration.

Releaseinfo: In the manifold canon of KOMPAKT artists, TERRANOVA quickly established itself as a pivotal voice in the truest sense of the word. After conducting the multi-faceted choir that was last years album HOTEL AMOUR (KOMPAKT 248) and its extensive list of guest vocalists, the revered project now rallies the troops and replaces the long wind of the full-length by the narrative focus of the EP format. The result is the PAINKILLER, a densely texturedcollection of highly addictive floor tunes and the latest chapter in Terranovas ongoing house saga. Firmly rooted in the escapist tradition of house narrators, TERRANOVAs use of vocalists nevertheless honeycombs the public notion of what exactly a genre singer is supposed to sound like. As HOTEL AMOUR did with admirable virtuosity, the PAINKILLER EP strings together the distinctive timbres of both trained and untrained voices, putting side by side the smooth indie expertise of WHOMADEWHOs Tomas Høffding aka BONHOMME (on YOU, title track PAINKILLER and ENDLESS SUMMER) and the expressive wisdom of French DJ luminary JENNIFER CARDINI (on closing track WUNDERBAR, a wonderfully counterintuitive cover of the subtext-ridden CHRISTIANE F classic). Lyrically as well as musically, TERRANOVAs latest oeuvre tells an ambivalent tale of melancholic loss and hopeful discovery without falling prey to the shallow enthusiasm of a big room flasher: rather subtle than melodramatic in their approach, the EPs four tracks display a deep knowledge of their legacy, but opt for a thorough modernization of well-established house tropes, realizing that as with many things in life – its the tease that makes an addiction. Thats how the resourceful shaking and three-dimensional sound design of the PAINKILLER EP find themselves underpinned with sweeping moods straight out of an amour fous toolkit, marrying raw emotions and a sense of doom with a strong urge to work that body
