On their ninth album for Bureau B, the internationally renowned Berlin/Düsseldorf-based outfit Kreidler focus on atmospheric soundscapes – of course maintaining their signature rhythmic groove, which on Schemes is simply more buoyant and less insistent. Schemes is also characterised by the more pronounced use of nature/outdoor recordings. The track featuring Leo Garcia as a guest vocalist is based on just such a field recording.

With Schemes, Kreidler step into a more ambient space of possibilities, crafting an album that feels both carefully considered and delightfully unguarded.
