Delve into the sonic world of Paul Kalkbrenner’s new masterpiece, The Essence – an album akin to an archive of personal states. Conceived over several years, partly in the studio, partly in a Berlin apartment, somewhere between 1950s modernism and 1970s style. This unique atmosphere deeply embedded itself into the music – making The Essence Kalkbrenner’s most intimate work.
It is his first album since Parts of Life (2018) – and arguably his most accomplished.
