After hitting the German top ten with 2017’s “An jedem einzelnen Tag”, Louis Manke, a.k.a. Staubkind is returning with the mesmerizing acoustic album “Hinter meinen Träumen” (=behind my dreams) on CD and deluxe double CD.
On Staubkind‘s first all-acoustic album release, Louis engulfs the listener in that special kind of atmosphere that is created when you shift the emphasis to the softer notes. On “Hinter meinen Träumen”, he presents a selection of 13 songs which are comprised of current hits, Staubkind-classics and the new single “Deine Zeit” in beautiful acoustic arrangements. Reduced to their very essence, up tempo hits like “Wunder”, “Das Beste kommt noch” or “Angekommen”, but also the slow songs like “Kleiner Engel” or “Wunsch frei” feel even more intense and honest. Carefully arranged strings combined with acoustic guitars and an emotional piano performance give Louis’ characteristic raw larynx even more space to shine and infuse the songs with a spirit that is hard to resist. “Hinter meinen Träumen” is the unobstructed view straight into the very heart of the Staubkind-experience: honest, pure and highly emotional: an acoustic dreamcatcher of an album.
Following numerous fan requests, the album is also available as a deluxe double CD with a bonus disc that contains instrumental versions of all the featured songs.

Coming up is Dødsmaskin’s “Ingenting” album via the dark ambient label Cyclic Law. “Ingenting” was first finalised in June 2015 and completed in almost complete secrecy. Being the Drammen (Norway) based act’s original debut it somehow never had a proper release. It now finally gets its official release via Cyclic Law and you can order it right here. “Ingenting” is actually a great introduction to this band thanks to the core elements of the Dødsmaskin’s sound which mixes noise, drone, power electronics, death industrial or yet dark ambient. As it seems, urbane legend or not, the project’s members had a 1000-ton freight train powering over recording devices. Talking about extreme measures! The material was mastered at Black Knoll Studio by Rafael Anton Irisarri. This official release comes in a very limited edition of 300 copies only packaged in a 4-panel digipak and counting 5 tracks with a running time of just over 40 minutes. Check out the previews below.
