{"product_id":"gespensterland","title":"Gespensterland","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the last ten years a strange mycelium was sprouting from the ground of Germany's sound topography, going widely unnoticed while creeping its way up through the copse of the ubiquitous \u003cem\u003eNeo-Kraut\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDiskurs-Pop\u003c\/em\u003e and the like. We're talking about a small underground network of artists and projects with poetic, mysterious names such as \u003cstrong\u003eBrannten Schnure\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBaldruin\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKirschstein\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFreundliche Kreisel\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBalint Brosel\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOperating in the margins and intersections of folklore, experimental electronics, dreams and nightmares, the \u003cem\u003eGespensterland\u003c\/em\u003e LP archives and compiles their magic works for the very first time and already today it stands as a contemporary testament with an auratic presence comparable to that of Pordenone's \u003cem\u003eGreat Complotto\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeutschland - Gespensterland\u003c\/em\u003e: they're lurking in each and every crack of a brittle reality, amongst the concrete of apartment blocks and motorway bridges, twixt and tween the shopping mall and the leisure park, they're floating along gap sites and post-war facades, apricating in the ludicrous snobbery of Germany's suburbia, whispering from behind crammed sheds in a labyrinth of allotments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGossamer ghosts spun from daily rituals, spectres of a mundane here and now, that suffuse the land with an invisible veiling. Hardly ever have their frequencies been transmitted as unadulterated as on this record. Much like the fever dream imagery of gothic novels and early horror flicks has equipped our senses with a new perception of reality itself, \u003cem\u003eGespensterland\u003c\/em\u003e's surreal songs and oblique sound textures yield an array of microscopic reflections and deeper insights into the psychogeography of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRaised in Lower Franconia, both \u003cstrong\u003eBaldruin\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBrannten Schnure\u003c\/strong\u003e already have a considerable discography under their belt. A string of vinyl and cassette releases issued in lovingly designed small runs contributed to their underground fame, securing them a distinguished but growing cult following, especially abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to their rather brief or latent existence, the legacy of \u003cstrong\u003eBalint Brosel\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eKirschstein\u003c\/strong\u003e, hailing from the Ruhr area, however is of a more obscure nature. Hence, it's all the more important that their fascinating and idiosyncratic skein of ghost musick is being documented here as well, emerging like a seldom ore that slumbered too long inside the earth, having accumulated the collective dreams of generations of necromancers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGhost stories, both uncanny and hilarious, are likewise the main ingredient of \u003cstrong\u003eFreundliche Kreisel\u003c\/strong\u003e's songs, a joint project of \u003cstrong\u003eBrannten Schnure\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBaldruin\u003c\/strong\u003e, and as with all material on this record these tracks have been unreleased to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e\n01. \u003cstrong\u003eFreundliche Kreisel\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eGespensterland\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n02. \u003cstrong\u003eKirschstein\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eKomet uber Sch(r)attenberg\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n03. \u003cstrong\u003eBaldruin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eReich der Illusionen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n04. \u003cstrong\u003eKirschstein\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eAch, Du grobe Nachtmusik\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n05. \u003cstrong\u003eFreundliche Kreisel\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eAbbild\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n06. \u003cstrong\u003eBaldruin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eElektrische Krauter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n07. \u003cstrong\u003eKirschstein\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eFutura Narkotica\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n08. \u003cstrong\u003eBrannten Schnure\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eIch versaum' doch ni\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bureau B","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50484872249675,"sku":"2029930","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50484876640587,"sku":"2029931","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_a3556041_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727592619","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/gespensterland","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
