Genre: Postrock
Release Date: 11/10/2024
In October 2024, after more than 20 years of band history, Verstärker will release their 5th studio album titled V. It consists of 5 new tracks recorded live (38 min) and will be released on Finaltune Records, label of Collapse Under The Empire. While the songs on the predecessor Themes & Variations (2020) were real instrumental monoliths between post- and kraut-rock, the new songs are more compact and catchy, but still instrumental post-rock sculptures that trigger exuberant, long-lasting feelings of happiness: dynamics and melancholy, sometimes energetic and euphoric, then again wide areas and lush sound sculptures.
Three instruments, rumbling, meandering, floating basses (Alexander Gilli), bell-like hymnic, then again rough guitars (Roberto Cruccolini), unadorned, driving, decomposing, oscillating drums (Wolfgang Walter). V is post-rock: massively euphoric walls of sound piled up into infinite spheres with an intense, multi-faceted instrumental flow. Here, Mogwai‘s intensity and Motorpsycho‘s playfulness meet Russian Circles‘ anthems and Maserati‘s musical playfulness.
