German electronic pioneers DIGITALISM spread the urgent energy of OPTIMISM with their upcoming album and live performances all over Europe. A DIY spirit, in-the-moment energy and a low boredom threshold – all have been crucial to Digitalism’s practice since they built their first track in a studio inside a WWII bunker in Hamburg, 20 years ago. “Optimism” is the logical consequence of the band’s steady development. Jence and Isi say: “In search of a better place, on an expedition, guided by our studio, we found it in a firework of colours, chords and melodies. Most of the album work was done over the winter. The greyer the environment, the more colourful music we started to create. OPTIMISM is meant to be a landscape you can get lost in.“
