'Seven Years Week' is the debut full-length album from Hanssen, the solo alias of Seattle electronic producer Bob Hansen. Active in the Pacific Northwest music community for nearly two decades, Bob initially applied his sharp production talents, hypnotic rhythms, and goofball sense of humor as one-half of beloved duo Jacob London, blazing a trail on funky, underground dancefloors worldwide with a steady string of hotly-tipped 12” releases throughout the 2000s. While Jacob London reveled in fresh, playful tech-house, Hanssen’s initial solo offerings embraced a more textured and exploratory sound on EPs for the Complot, Innerflight, and Pleasure Boat labels.
Now emerging with his first full-length offering, Hanssen’s most fully realized sonic work nearly ditches the dancefloor entirely in favor of an unpredictable and thrilling foray into cinematic leftfield soundscapes soaked in dreamy nostalgic synths, spacious off-kilter rhythms, and celestial visions. Elements of ambient, R&B, kosmiche, downtempo, New Age, and drone bubble to the surface. Yet, much like its namesake, 'Seven Years Week' takes these familiar styles and creates its own unique world, absorbing the listener into its beautiful, blissful space-time continuum.
