After releasing two critically acclaimed albums and EPs, Berlin-based doom metal collective neànder is venturing into new territory and has released its first acoustic EP, entitled "ir", via Through Love Records. Listen to the full EP here:
"The idea of recording acoustic songs has been around for a while," says Jan Korbach, who released his Alternative Country solo debut under the name ATEM in 2022. "During writing the 'Concrete Americana' album, I had the idea of recording a quieter and more intimate version of a neànder song". Michael Zolkiewicz adds "apparently the time was right to realise this vision". The "ir" EP was recorded for the first time entirely by the band. It was produced and mixed by guitarist Patrick Zahn: "Our aim was to create an authentic acoustic sound. We edited as little as possible and tried to capture the sound of the individual instruments as if you were standing right in front of us," he says. The iconic cover artwork was created by drummer Sebastian Grimberg.
Tracklist:
01. yola des goz (acoustic version)
02. eremit (acoustic version)
03. aas
04. malven (acoustic version)
"ir" is out now on all major streaming platforms, with a strictly limited 12“ EP to follow in April 2024.
Pre-orders are available at THIS LOCATION.
Furthermore, in 2024 the instrumental collective, whose members were previously active in bands such as And, Patsy 'O Hara, Earth Ship and rapper Casper's live band, will perform at Desertfest Berlin and many other events. But then again as a fully amplified band. So keep your ears open and an eye on the band to ensure you don't miss any news!
