Hidden Shoal Recordings have announced the release of the eagerly anticipated new album Wunden Gibt Es Immer Wieder by German cinematic pop outfit, Sankt Otten.
From the opening track of Wunden Gibt Es Immer Wieder Sankt Otten make their intentions known. Stephan Otten`s echoing rhodes piano falls over golden drones as Oliver Klemm drapes his elegant trademark guitar through the track like a neon waterfall. The album represents a marked progression from the bands earlier output. It draws upon the heart of their previous forays into dark melancholic trip hop yet discards the form. In doing so the band have managed to present a musical vision that is even more epic, cinematic, noirish and distinctly their own. - Press Release Excerpt
Wunden Gibt Es Immer Wieder is available now through all good digital music stores including iTunes, eMusic, Amazon as well as the labels own store. For all store links and to preview the album in full hear over to the HSR Store.
‘Wunden gibt es immer wieder’ is a magisterial lament, an anthem for lost moments. The track kicks into life with an insistent, hypnotic beat whose empty moments are soon filled with curling strings and the heart breakingly beautiful Fripp’esque guitar work of Oliver Klemm. ‘Wunden gibt es immer wieder’ is a slow burning, instensely orchestrated piece of maximalist minimalism…this is chamber trance. - Press Release Excerpt
‘Wunden gibt es immer wieder’ is now available exclusively from the HSR Store and includes a bonus unreleased track in the form of ‘Wandertag’. The music video is also available for purchase from the HSR Store in high quality iPod-ready format as well as being viewable on Imeem and HSR TV.
