It’s been fours years since the original release of Lovers Do. For the first time now finally released on vinyl. In the meantime he’s kept very busy––primarily with side projects. First there was Others, his experimental house outfit with Daze Maxim. Then came Public Lover, his duo with the French artist Ninca Leece that debuted last year on thesongsays (Bruno’s label). He’s continued to join forces with Sammy Dee as Half Hawaii, playing live shows around Europe and putting out tracks on Perlon and Diamonds & Pearls. As half of the duo Ndf, he coproduced Since We Last Met, a single that marked his debut on DFA and landed in Pitchfork’s top tracks of the year. But while he was juggling all these different projects, one piece of music was slowly taking shape: his third and most immersive album, Lovers Do. Like much of Bruno’s work to date, Lovers Do is experimental without being snobby––or to use his own term, “accidentally avantgarde”–– but this one takes it further than the others. It has a looseness that’s truly rare in techno; scrapping formulaic verses and breaks, it winds along like an abstract sketch, guided by intuition instead of logic. Some songs are fraught with nervous tension, others are soothing and rich with detail, from dappling rhodes to orchestral swells, jazzy drum fills and wet hand claps. Human voices swirl in and out of the mix, serving only to make things more surreal. Many of the tracks stretch well beyond ten minutes; one bows out after less than three. The album overall is delicate and subtle, but it also features Bruno’s best club tune in years, the eerie and delirious “Feel Right.” Brian Eno once described his own music as a place you occupy rather than a thing that happens. Lovers Do is such a place; a lovely, impressionistic scene with amber tones and murky figures, dim street lights and dusty shadows. Bruno spent two years composing Lovers Do at his home studio in Prenzaluerberg, Berlin. His muse Ninca Leece makes scattered cameos throughout

Following Bruno Pronsatos latest fantastic album "Why Can't We Be Like Us", we are more than happy to get with "Nobody Calls" another timeless pearl on Hello?Repeat. On the title track Bruno worked this time with his very good friend Caro (aka Randy Jones), and together they delivered a truely magical vocal track. On the flip side you'll find a fairly dirty track called "Where'd You Learn To Kiss That Way". Again Bruno manages to create a record with his very unique atmosphere.
DEEP. REDUCED. GLORIOUS. PRONSATO

„If archetypal rock music claims „Satisfaction” then the rhythmachine requieres emotion” wrote Kodwo Eshun in his 1998 book „More Brilliant Than The Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction.” Today, almost ten
years later, his theory is still correct, and it shows that his idea is explosive when the rhythmachine is programmed against the common sense. Steven Ford aka Bruno Pronsato knows all of this, because
he knows rock music and its creative dead end street. He knows because he played in several rock bands in his hometown of Seattle, trying time and again to play the same songs, and the same rhythms in new ways. But that's a long time ago. Now, more than five years later, he generates music via synthezisers and computers - emotional rhythms far beyond any kind of cliché. His new longplayer „Why can’t we be like us” embodies his old passion for playing the drums as well as his addiction to ones and zeros. Instead of creating streamlined minimal, he has more of an abstract sound on his mind - one that lives on a dark, organic and percussive note. Nothing really new, he has always been unpredictable and funky with an organic twist between the beats. His tracks often rely on devious turns, flickering sounds, warm basslines and some free riding vocals. They still do, but more importantly now, they are more musical, more space filling and above all, much more percussive. His intention here is to provide you with a long player - not a compilation of danceable clubtracks. He wants to tell a story and he does it with nine long, grooving compositions that are full of rhythms that twist around bubbling sounds that seem to launch out of his very own inner space: sometimes a piano melody is dancing in space, then an undefinable vibrancy chirps out of the background, and in the next moment some unheared buzzing sighs in time and space. The only real red threat you can feel deeply is a soulful climax towards the last track „Why Can’t We Be Like Us”. A story-arc that makes his album look like a book that releases emotions via rhythms from chapter to chapter. An experimenting, playful track-architecture that never reacts too apparent with our nervous systems. This album feels like a locigal progression from his E.P.’s for labels like Orac, Philpot, Hello?Repeat and his creative powers as one part of the duo Half Hawaii on Perlon. Musical suspense that processes feelings and soul through electronic vibrations. Everything sounds like Bruno Pronsato plays it himself on his machines and follows the „I am an instrument”-dictum of the spacy free jazzer sun ra. He still maintains his own inner sound and translates it into unheard arrangements. To quote Kwodo Eshun ones more: „Drum and electronica converge in a new space of rhythmatic and syncussion!”
