Today the World of Echo label has announced details of a new album from Läuten der Seele: “Ertrunken Im Seichtesten Gewässer”. The album is being presented as two long form pieces, and will be out on vinyl and digitally on 7 July 2023. The two tracks are “Molch, Pfütze, Schilf & Stein” and “Knochen, Mond, Buchstabe & Tropfen”.
“Ertrunken Im Seichtesten Gewässer” is the third Läuten der Seele album in two years and is a collage of samples, field recordings and various recorded instruments. Those familiar with Schoppik’s work, both as Läuten der Seele and with Brannten Schnüre, will recognise his sound and approach.

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help.
