‘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 heartbreakingly beautiful Fripp-esque guitar work of Oliver Klemm. ‘Wunden gibt es immer wieder’ is a slow burning, intensely orchestrated piece of maximalist minimalism. Its mesmeric looping and gently building composition work to create a contemplative, hypnotic atmosphere. This is chamber trance music.
The single is taken from the forthcoming release of the same name. The album is the second Sankt Otten release through Hidden Shoal Recordings and will be available on December 11th, 2007. The album is the follow up to the immensely successful and critically praised Wir koennen ja Freunde bleiben.
It’s all just so intensely moody and melancholy, jazzy and dramatic, and so so gorgeous. - Aquarius Records
... a melting pot of influences and sounds. A grandiose statement that touches the cornerstones of noir film soundtrack, atmospheric rock, jazz and trip-hop. At times it matches the brilliance of Portishead’s “Dummy” or Massive Attack’s “Mezzanine”
Hidden Shoal Recordings are also proud to announce the release of the stunning video
accompaniment to ‘Wunden gibt es immer wieder’. The music video was produced and directed by the brilliant German video artist Carsten Aschmann and the Hula-Offline production company. It manages to be every bit as beautiful and hypnotic as its sonic counterpart. The emotive synchronicity between sound and vision is uncanny and once you’ve viewed the video it becomes hard to separate the two.
‘Wunden gibt es immer wieder’ is now available exclusively from the HSR Store and includes a bonus unreleased track in the form of ‘Wandertag’
