On October 11, 2024 after more than 20 years of band history, Instrumental Post-Rockers Verstärker will release their 5th studio album titled “V” on Finaltune Records.
Today the trio shares the first single titled “Fliegender Fluss,” purchase and stream the track on Bandcamp:
The band tells us about the new single: “Fliegender Fluss embodies its name, unfolding like a river, steady and organic, before lifting off into sweeping crescendos. A captivating instrumental post-rock journey, it effortlessly blends fluidity with moments of sweeping intensity.“
New album V consists of 5 new tracks recorded live (38 min) and will be released on Finaltune Records, label of essential post-rock duo Collapse Under The Empire.
While the songs on the predecessor “Themes & Variations” (2020) were real instrumental monoliths between Post- and Krautrock, 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.
