The new Fennesz: powerful guitar and roaring electronics set against quiet stillness, an overwhelming sonic presence and a story to tell. Very cool. A masterpiece, as expected. The melancholy really sinks in. Christian Fennesz's first new album for Editions Mego in six years has arrived. Released simultaneously on vinyl and CD.
Following his sensational 2001 debut album "Endless Summer" — the record that instantly put Editions Mego on the map worldwide — and 2008's "Black Sea," his first new work in roughly six years, "Bécs," is out on his home label Editions Mego! With support from Werner Dafeldecker on bass and Radian's Martin Brandlmayr plus Tony Buck on drums. Mastered and cut by the master, Rashad Becker. You'll be overwhelmed by an imaginary sound world in which you can both see and hear the ring of the guitar strings, the melodies, and the movement of every single electronic particle.
