Hymnen Und Helden

Alongside with the release of the new album Tote Winkel, Sankt Otten delights us with another limited vinyl bonus release. Hymnen und Helden (hymns and heroes) is a collection of cover versions created over the last few years. As the album title suggests, it pays homage to self-proclaimed musical hymns and heroes from the seventies and eighties. Featuring cover tracks of Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, A Flock of Seagulls, Grauzone, Harald Grosskopf, Günter Schickert and David Bowies. New York-based Rafael Anton Irisarri was responsible for mastering of the record. As part of the series with graphic covers, this die-cut artwork was also created by Mexican designer Daniel Castrejon. The one time only vinyl pressing, limited to 350 copies, comes in a beautifully designed die-cut cover and coloured vinyl. The Osnabrück duo Sankt Otten, founded in 1999, have been releasing on Denovali since 2009. The band has dedicated itself to the holy trinity of Krautrock, Ambient and contemporary Electronics.
