About the album

Naarm/Melbourne artist Jeremy Dower began recording and performing in the late 1990s, at first using the unpronounceable moniker Tetrphnm. Over the next few years he moved away from a beats-based, dancefloor style towards a rich, layered and personal sound. Efficient Space included a Tetrphnm track on their much-loved 2018 compilation of Australian electronic music, 3AM Spares. 

Sentimental Dance Music For Couples was Jeremy's debut album, originally released in 2000 as a vinyl double LP by renowned Los Angeles label Plug Research (home to early releases for Flying Lotus, Jon Tejada). It appears on streaming platforms for the first time ever from today, care of Melbourne's Chapter Music. who also released a 12" EP by Jeremy in 2002 entitled Music For Retirement Villages, Circa 2050.

The music on Sentimental Dance Music For Couples is human, organic, rustic, accessible and old, but also modern, synthetic, experimental and abstract - glitch music without the glitches, you could say. He says of himself: “Faux jazz, kitsch - I like to see beauty in junk. I like to think of my music as a music of contrasts and contradictions, clapped out technology, contemporary concepts in music, machine made, hand crafted, easy listening, emotionally engaging, minimalist and sentimentally charming.”

Sentimental Dance Music For Couples is the first in a series of upcoming releases by Jeremy Dower via Chapter Music, of music new and old. Stay tuned for more news soon!
