The Last Resort

The debut, with "Moan" as track twelve.
Trentemøller, 2006

All the tracks are by Trentemøller, who played most instruments himself, with Henrik Vibskov on drums on two tracks, Mikael Simpson on distorted bass, Karl Bille on bass and DJ T.O.M. on a scratch solo. The limited edition has a bonus disc, The Singles, with vocal versions of "Moan" (feat. Ane Trolle, 5:46) and "Always Something Better" (feat. Richard Davis). It reached five in Denmark, went platinum there in October 2009 and gold from IMPALA in 2011. AllMusic gave it 4 of 5, Pitchfork 7.2, with Philip Sherburne comparing it to Thom Yorke's The Eraser, and Resident Advisor 5 of 5; RA named it the fifth best album of 2006 and the 28th of the decade.
