(Photo by Mara von Kummer) hackedepicciotto (Alexander Hacke & Danielle de Picciotto) have shared details of a new album, “The Best of hackedepicciotto (Live in Napoli)”, that collates over 20 years of collaboration over two live performances recorded at the Auditorium Novecento, one of the oldest recording studios in Europe.

The album will be released on double vinyl, limited to 500 copies with exclusive signed print, and digitally on 1 November 2024, via Mute.

For over 20 years Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade) have been working together. The album includes reinterpretations of tracks from all of their studio albums: “Keepsakes” (2023), “The Silver Threshold” (2021), “Perseverantia” (2016), “Menetekel” (2017), and “The Current” (2020).

This new collection is a mixture of industrial beats, electronic sounds with classical harmonies and melodies, with some throat singing, Hurdy-gurdy and spoken word. Daniel Miller of Mute goes on to say that “their music is a genre of its own, something new and very intriguing.”

Listen to “The Silver Threshold (Live in Napoli)”, the title track from their 2021 album.

(Photo by Errefotografia) Hackedepicciotto (Alexander Hacke & Danielle de Picciotto) have announce details of three reissues on Mute: “Perseverantia”, “Menetekel” and “The Current” out on vinyl and CD on 28 April 2023.

You all should know Alexander Hacke from Einstürzende Neubauten and Crime & the City Solution; and Danielle de Picciotto as co-founder of Love Parade, Space Cowboys and Crime & the City Solution.

Hackedepicciotto’s debut album, “Perseverantia” was originally released in 2016 and was recorded in the Mojave Desert, California. “Menetekel”, Hackedepicciotto’s third studio album, has been out of print since its original pressing in 2017. Side D of the double LP is a recording of a sound installation from an Austrian church that Hackedepicciotto were invited to compose in. Originally released in 2020, their fourth studio album, “The Current”, holds violin harmonies and choirs throughout the entire record and acts as a soundtrack for what the band describe as “an apocalyptic feature-length film, hopefully with a happy ending.”

These reissues follow the release of 2021’s album for Mute, “The Silver Threshold”.

(Photo by Sven Marquardt) Hackedepicciotto, the project of Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten / Crime & the City Solution) and Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade / Crime & the City Solution), have announced details of their first album for Mute, “The Silver Threshold”, expected to be out on 12 November.

Out now is the duo’s first song, “Evermore”, a lovesong. Watch the video, directed by Studio Bergfors, right below.

The album cover and press photographs were shot by Sven Marquardt – a Berlin photographer – who also happens to be the doorman at the infamous Berghain nightclub. Hacke explains: “It was a very formative aspect of this album. He only uses natural light and having our picture taken by him was a very special experience.”

“The Silver Threshold” is the band’s 3rd album after “Menetekel” and “Joy” (with Eric Hubel and Vincent Signorelli) both released in 2018.

Out by early 2018 is the newest Hackedepicciotto album “Menetekel”. Hackedepicciotto is the duo Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and Danielle de Picciotto (Space Cowboys). De Picciotto was the lead singer of Space Cowboys, co-initiator of the Love Parade and a collaborator of the Ocean Club with Gudrun Gut (Malaria)… and is since 2006 also the wife of Hacke in case you didn’t know.

“Menetekel” reveals to be darker than the previous album “Perseverantia”. The album is available as a regular CD but also as a limited edition double-LP in gatefold sleeve (available right here), including a very long bonus-track, signed photo and download code for all tracks.

Here’s an impression of what the duo creates, the track “Jericho”, recorded live at Whispers & Hurricanes in March 2017.
