About AT TAKA LÁN
In the spirit of Supervisjón this track deals with one of the many absurdities of modern living.
We ask ourselves: is it possible to create a track about going to the bank and asking for a loan? So instead of a voice saying: get your booty out on the dance floor!, which would be fitting for a track like this, the voice says: You can get a loan! It’s this situation when you’re sitting with your bank advisor, and they all of a sudden without warning say: Maybe you’ll die, maybe you’ll have a crisis – you need insurance – confronting you with your own mortality. We go to work every day. To pay for stuff, food and a place to live. If we are lucky we get to loan money from the bank for a house or an apartment. To be validated for a loan, is to be validated as a person. I have not had many meetings with my bank, but every time I have, they tell me the same thing: that I might die.
In this track it’s almost like the statement ‘YOU CAN GET A LOAN!’ in a spooky and devilish way becomes synonymous with ‘COME ON LET’S DANCE!’
The unemployment rate in the Faroe Islands is close to zero, which on one hand is a postive thing, but nobody seems to question what this sort of work culture does to the individual and the collective human soul. So – should we dance with devil and take a loan? Are we workers, are we dancers?
