Earlier this week, Denovali Records teased a new album from German instrumental electronic duo Sankt Otten. Entitled Männerfreundschaften und Metaphysik, which translates to Male Friendships and Metaphysics, the album sees Stephan Otten and Oliver Klemm joining forces with experimental guitarist and labelmate N aka Hellmut Neidhardt. Known for his work exploring noise, ambient and drone sounds, N “add[ed] a grave and menacing mood to Sankt Otten’s electronica and kraut Rock”, described the label. “The aim of this collaboration was to combine the perspectives of the genres of both partners.”
Männerfreundschaften und Metaphysik will see the light of day on September 23rd and we can already get the first taste from it with the dreamy and ethereal ‘Heile Welt’. Take a listen now.
