WIR GINGEN DURCH LEERE STUNDEN

Description

The third album by Schatterau, Wir gingen durch leere Stunden (We Walked Through Empty Hours), sees the German duo blossom with beauty and sophistication through a creative language of great breadth.This opus, presented in the form of striking living sound paintings, explores the topography of memory as a landscape in perpetual motion - filled with loops, feedback, and mirage-like distortions. Sounds rise there like vines on old walls, concealing certain details to reveal others. Some tracks resemble fragments of a dream whose origin has vanished, others like displaced echoes from a distant day.Memories create paths that only become visible in hindsight - detours that, somehow, always lead back to oneself. Each track draws the listener into a different memory, as if opening an old door. Inside, time behaves strangely: it jumps, stretches, and repeats.Wir gingen durch leere Stunden presents Schatterau at their most experimental, complex, and controlled level, channeling an ambiguous human emotional resonance ranging from melancholy to pure ecstasy.
