Trentemøller’s Rework and Remix of Tan Cologne’s Shoegaze Single “In Resin” Sounds Like a Daydream of Itself

The Trentemøller rework and remix of Tan Cologne’s dream pop single “In Resin” renders it all but unrecognizable beyond the entrancing melody. Rather than centered on guitar the driving sound is a simple piano figure underneath vocals that seem to appear and dissolve in the mix only to reappear later like clouds in the late spring daytime. The minimal percussion accents provide a grounding textural element that guides rather than anchors the song which seems to be flowing and drifting where it will but with a soothing and hypnotic quality like getting lost in a daydream of the original composition. Listen to “In Resin (Trentemøller Rework)” as remixed by Trentemøller as well on YouTube and follow north New Mexico duo Tan Cologne at the links below.

Tan Cologne’s Dream Pop Single “In Resin” is an Enigmatically Evocative Summation of the Cosmology of One’s Life

Tan Cologne infuses into its dream pop single “In Resin” strands of hypnotically repetitive guitar figures under and over gossamer, melodic guitar drones and shimmery leads. In the middle of the song the main progression shifts from a melancholic augmented chord into a minor chord for an effect that stirs feelings of deep reflection. The whole song is reminiscent of a late-80s period Cocteau Twins but with a touch of desert rock shoegaze but think more like Morricone than Kyuss. The song’s twists and turns are gentle like it’s guiding you to a better place in your head. The song is the concluding track from the band’s new album Unknown Beyond which was released on June 20. 2025 and it’s hard to imagine the record going out on a more evocative note. Listen to “In Resin” on Spotify (where you can check out the rest of the album) and follow Tan Cologne on Instagram.
