The Fumes is the lush third album by Danish multi-instrumentalist KRISTIAN HARTING, released through his allies at long-running German label Exile On Mainstream.

KRISTIAN HARTING’s prior solo albums, 2014’s Float and 2015’s Summer Of Crush, were entirely written, recorded, performed, and produced by the artist at his own studio, however, The Fumes marks a somewhat departure from this approach. The album was recorded and produced by HARTING and Lars Lundholm (On Trial, Oresund Space Collective, Hanne Boel, Papir) at Black Tornado Studios and Room 21 in Copenhagen and mastered by Nikolaj Vinten (Coldplay). Additionally, The Fumes features guest musicians, including bass from Jakob Falgren (Trentemøller), keys by Jesper Bo Hansen (Glenn Hughes), drums by Mads Beldring Hansen, and backing vocals by singer/songwriter Nana Schwartzlose.

Imported from Germany, The Fumes LP is pressed on 180-gram black pure virgin vinyl, with a sleeve printed on reverse board, and a polylined inner sleeve. A CD is included in the package which is limited to 500 copies worldwide. [Exile On Mainstream]
