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 shared the new video single “Echoes In Motion,” watch it through the player below:
The band tells us about the new single: “Echoes In Motion is probably the most atypical Verstärker-song of recent years: it is catchier and more driving and even has a real hymnic chorus that you would almost want to sing along to if it had vocals. And on the other hand, there are also the typical post-rock moments that make Echoes a real Verstärker-song – not least the various types of delay that the song has in its name.“
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.
