The Memory Of Snow ‘Inside’: a coldwave concept album
“Inside” runs 12 tracks: “To The North Sea,” “Inside,” “All The Things I Shouldn’t Have Seen,” “Noise In The Basement,” “Pandora,” “Such A Nice Neighbour,” “The Diner,” “A Man In Every Monster,” “Justice Has Not Enough Time For The Dead,” “She’ll Never See New York,” “Patchwork Pathway To Hell” and “Into The Eyes Of A Stranger.” Wagener wrote all the songs, and recorded, mixed and mastered the album at Brkfst Studios in Lille.
The record is a concept album. Wagener has described “Inside” as an echo of David Bowie’s “Outside,” picked up three decades later, carrying a cinematic, noir-leaning narrative across the 12 tracks. Meridian Noir Records issues the album on a CD digipak with a lyric booklet, alongside the digital edition.
