Optimism
German pioneers of electronic music and mainstays of the European indie-dance scene Digitalism are bringing what we need today more than ever – optimism. Optimism is not only a feeling and a place we long for, but also the title of their new album.
Digitalism will spread the urgent energy of the album Optimism through the new record as well as live performances across Europe.
The DIY spirit, the energy of the present moment, and zero tolerance for boredom – all of this has been essential to Digitalism’s work since the time when, more than twenty years ago, they created their first track and quickly made a breakthrough on the cult French label Kitsuné.
The album Optimism is the logical result of the duo’s gradual development. Ever since the breakthrough album Idealism (2007), they have been gaining fans with an energetic sound that connects club electronics, indie rock, and strong melodies. It was from this album that their best-known tracks Zdarlight and Pogo originated, which became anthems of the electro-indie generation of that time.
Behind the project are producers Jens Moelle and Ismail Tüfekçi, who are known for intense live performances full of synthesizers, pulsating beats, and festival energy. They have concerts at the world’s biggest festivals and remixes for a number of prominent names from both the electronic and indie scenes. With the new album Optimism, they confirm that their music still has the same ability to get audiences dancing all over the world.
