Schubmodul
Lost In Kelp Forest
The second album of Schubmodul, 'Lost In Kelp Forest,' is a concept album, which does not take place thematically in the infinite expanses of space like its predecessor, but in an underwater world. The six mainly instrumental pieces are accompanied by narrators, who tell a cohesive fictional story on a dense atmospheric soundscape (voices of Alma Chomel from France and Shane Wilson from the USA). As a foundation, the triumvirate, formed in a classic line-up of guitar, bass and drums, thunders a mix of space, stoner and progressive rock onto the floor, which is occasionally supplemented by synthesizers, sound and voice samples. Dreamy, atmospheric passages meet colossal riffs and often lead to an epic melodic zenith of voluminous, warm sounds, over which gentle to fast guitar solos are discharged. The compositions make use of a wide modal palette and versatile harmonies that never cease to surprise the listener. A very high degree of attention to detail that remains exciting even after repeated listening. The band was inspired by genre-typical greats such as Elder, King Buffalo, more progressive bands such as Dream Theater and elements from the film music of Hans Zimmer. The complete album was recorded in just 6 days at the legendary Tonmeisterei. Comes on coke bottle green vinyl.
