Sundl presents goth house album ‘Four’ next week – Pre-order now
Sundl
Out on 11 January (digitally and on cassette via Cut Surface & Wsmtml) is the all new Sundl album “Four”. “Four” pays homage to both the dark 1980s as well as the vibrant Viennese underground scene and includes a cover of “Mesmerism” by darkwave legends Dead Can Dance, featuring vocals by Terz Nervosa. The whole was mixed and mastered by Philipp Forthuber.
This is the 4th album for the Vienna-based solo artist following the self-titled debut (2020), “II” (2021) and “3” (2023). He has this to say about the musical evolution: “While remaining true to my signature approach of blending samples, retro sounds, guest vocals and instruments, the various elements are more distinct, each standing out in its own right.”
Just Friends and Lovers’ Lina Gärtner and Veronika Adamski contribute live instruments to several tracks, including “Oak” (vocal samples by Terz Nervosa), “How Sweet” (vocal samples by poet Linda Pastan), “Diving” (vocal samples by Lina Gärtner), and “Mesmerism” (additional arrangements by composer Andreas Karl). The lyrics for The Space are written and performed by Vienna-based Lithuanian artist Hylut.
Out already are the first two singles, “For” and “Mesmerism” feat Terz Nervosa. A 3rd video single “How Sweet” follows on January 25th.
