We’ve just received our first shipment of “Brannten Schnüre,” a cult-favorite experimental folk unit based in Würzburg, Germany, known for their releases selling out in the blink of an eye. This is a much-appreciated reissue from 〈Aguirre〉. Released in 2015, *Sommer Im Pfirschichhain* (Summer in the Peach Grove) is the second chapter of a four-part series chronicling the seasons. It’s a mesmerizing, experimental dark folk masterpiece that feels as though it were delivered straight from the deep forests of Bavaria.

Christian Schoppik, who plays the accordion as well as the guitar and flute, and Katie Rich, who whispers, recites, and sings. Fragments of ancient Greek rebetiko are processed and looped; as instruments and voices overlap, atonal folk and tape collages emerge with a ritualistic quality, creating a surreal, fairy-tale-like world. Though summer serves as its theme, it is far from dazzling; instead, it is a fantastical soundscape enveloped in dark sunlight that harbors shadows and mystery. The hand-drawn artwork by Gwénola Carrère is also lovely. This is the second edition, limited to 500 copies, released 11 years after their debut album, *Aguirre*. Red vinyl. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
