Self-titled debut LP by Läuten der Seele, the solo project by Christian Schoppik of dark folk duo Brannten Schnüre from Würzburg (DE).
This first solo work is composed of 12 abstract audio collages based on transformed sampled loops from German 50’s Heimatfilme features – a popular domestic genre involving rural settings, romantic tone and simplistic morality, centered on love, friendship and family – jazzed up with a vast selection of instruments such as accordion, guitar, keyboard, flute and everyday objects sporadically used as percussive elements.
Schoppik’s new offering is a surreal – at times epic – and deep listening adventure into half dream/half nightmare atmospheres of nostalgia and bittersweetness, supported by a sonic aesthetic masterfully crafted from start to finish.
