Ulrich Schnauss - Asteroid 2467

1. Asteroid 2467 [single version] (05:16)
2. Afterglow (04:38)

First new music from Ulrich Schnauss in almost four years. "Asteroid 2467" is the first single off the forthcoming collaborative full length with Jonas Munk (their third), coming out in March 2021. Ambient and introspective in nature, but with a kinetic, polyrhythmic energy pushing it forward. There's a floating quality to Ulrich's synthesizer washes and Munk's guitar patterns, yet the eight tracks are anchored by pulse and compositional direction. The duo brings their individual strengths to the table, yet these two tracks transcends any of their previous work conceptually. There are echoes of blissed-out new age music and kosmische from the 1970s and 1980s, as well as traces of shoegaze-era abstraction and leftfield electronica. But ultimately there's no off-the-rack category that fits it. It exists in its own rarefied space.
