about

Visitors Club is the moniker for musician and composer Manoj Ramdas from Sonderborg, Denmark. After graduating he moved to Los Angeles where he began and in 1999 completed his degree in music at GIT, Musicians Institute. Since then he has recorded and toured the world with The Raveonettes, Sort Sol, Childrenn and Trentemøller. In addition to teaching and coaching bands Manoj also composes music for commercials, documentaries and TV series both at home and abroad.

The concept of Visitors Club arose when Manoj wanted to make music with different singers giving himself a greater spectrum to explore sonically and work within. From time to time he will therefore invite a new guest or female singer to visit the club and do 1 or 2 songs with them, constantly changing the style and expression from EP to EP.


On the debut single ‘Where the World is Mine’ the choice fell on Emma Acs, who according to Manoj had the very special dark touch that the song needed in order to take it where Twin Peaks meets Nordic Noir.


“I always tend to write music inspired by my own composer heroes like Morricone, Goldsmith, Brian Eno, Badalamenti... But also by older electronic music pioneers like Tangerine Dream. In ‘Where the World is Mine’ I have aimed for a 50s pop aesthetic but seen through the last 20 years of increasing postmodernist alienation. Together with Emma’s lyrics and androgynous vocals, the song contains chords progression and vamps that sound recognizable and wrapped in a dark and longing universe, not unlike Lynch. I actually thin we have managed to create a solid little pop song with a little horror twang combined with electronic elements,” says Manoj Ramdas.

‘Where the World is Mine’ is out February 11 on Celebration Records

lyrics

It's so cold out here babe
But you're burning in my heart
I’m coming for you babe
To tear your life apart

So far and yet so close
Since I left the West Coast
When I close my eyes you rise and shine
Another land another time

(Where)
The world is mine
Another land another time
(Where)
The world is mine

I’m working overtime
Saving nickles saving dimes
So far and yet so close
Since I left the West Coast
When I close my eyes you rise and shine
I see it from five thousand miles

(Where)
The world is mine
Another land another time
(Where)
The world is mine
