This is the second full-length release for Copenhagen based Dub Tractor aka Anders member together with Thomas Knak (aka opiate) and Jesper skaaning aka caustic), he is also a member of the Danish super group Syster and future 3 listening to his early works one can clearly detect where the name for the project came from: spring reverbs and tape delays act as key ingredients full of incredible blueprints of indie drive electronica while his first full-length more or less mono marked a crossroads for remmer focusing more and more on his guitar bass and vocals, hideout officially declares that this transition is over Dub Tractor is now a fully blown one -piece indie band with the hushed gentle crackle of static and warm lambent background noise hideout evokes music recorded in a dusty garage with on old microphone picked up at a clear out sale hideout is irresistibly quiet yet unbelievably catchy and somehow heartbreaking and melancholic at the same time this is undoubtedly Anders Remmer's strongest and coziest to date.

Dub Tractor - Hideout
Dub Tractor continues his blend of slow, contemplative rhythms and mesmerizing harmonies with HIDEOUT. "I Woke Up" has the guitar-haze of a sunlight filtering through gauzy curtains, while "I'm Like You" is almost pop-like in its construction, though it's more like a bubble popping than anything you'd hear on the radio. The soft construction of "Droplets," with bouncing guitar strums and reflecting drums, is like rainfall on a pond. The pop element is much more apparent on "I Forgot" and "Faster," with their gentle meanderings. The title track, at the end, could almost be a lost Cocteau Twins track, but without Elisabeth Fraser's voice, unfortunately. This album wouldn't have been out of place on Morr Music, but it seems perfectly at home on City Centre Offices.
