b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Communions over Zoom video!
Revered for building euphoric, atmospheric worlds of sound,\\xa0Communions\\xa0have released their sophomore full length Pure Fabrication on\\xa0Tambourhinoceros. The Danish rockers\\u2019 new record effortlessly straddles the cerebral and the visceral, marrying abrasive punk sensibilities from the artistic underground of Copenhagen\\u2019s Mayhem scene with anthemic indie- and pop-rock.
Introducing the theme of self-understanding which is at the center of Communions\\u2019 new collection, the new single goes one layer deeper, meditating on how one\\u2019s identity is embedded and intertwined within history and culture at large. \\u201cIn all endeavors / It\\u2019s the architecture that survives / In history / People tend to recognize the statues / Not the slavery\\u201d. Though there is a cultural undercurrent to the song, it\\u2019s also just as much a personal statement on identity-crisis and confusion, inspired by Rehof\\u2019s experience of moving from Denmark to the United States and back again. \\u201c\\u201cBird Of Passage\\u201d tries to put words to the themes of change and variability; that one is never the same person from one day to another,\\u201d explains lead singer Martin Rehof.
A 15-track collection of Odyssian scope, Communions weave an intricate tapestry from \\u201ccultural debris\\u201d.\\xa0Pure Fabrication\\xa0draws upon brothers Martin and Mads Rehof\\u2019s personal experience as much as it does from a collage of myths. The Danish brothers spent over a decade of their childhood and early teens in Seattle, only to move back to Copenhagen in the midst of their formative years. While\\xa0Pure Fabrication\\xa0is partly a bid at finding their place and self-understanding through the lens of stories and myths\\u2014a keen listener can spot traces of Goethe\\u2019s Faust, Shakespear\\u2019s Lear, Homer\\u2019s Sirens, and the Norse fate-holding Norns\\u2014at its core, it is something more: a meta-narrative on the human condition.
Following the arc of a reverse coming of age story through the journey of a fictional protagonist,\\xa0Pure Fabrication\\xa0opens on the themes of liberation, independence, freedom, transformation\\u2014the ingredients of a coming of age story\\u2014and the character\\u2019s pursuit of them.
After six years, three EPs, one album, countless shows and festivals across the globe, Communions is now led by Rehof brothers: Martin (vocals and guitar) and Mads (Bass) with \\u201cSplendour\\u201d still featuring the contributions of ex-bandmates Jacob van Deurs Formann (guitar) and Frederik Lind K\\xf6ppen (drums). Fate, freedom, culture, love and identity are on trial in\\xa0Pure Fabrication, as Communions question themselves and their world on this masterful sophomore album.
