Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the second freely downloadable single from the latest album by German cinematic pop duo Sankt Otten . ' Mein Freund aus Köln ' soars slowly and elegantly across the night sky like a neon bird. The listener is carried along by hypnotic drum patterns, while majestic synth refrains and guitar drones sing sadly and beautifully. As with so much of Sankt Otten's work there is something brooding underneath the surface of 'Mein Freund aus Köln', something always just out of reach. The single is accompanied by the [...]

Excerpt: "After a way too long break, Hidden Shoal return to Aquarius... we were excited to hear how these guys might have changed over the last couple years, and in fact, their sound has shifted quite a bit. SA continue to defy the German Portishead pigeonhole, by cranking up the tempo, veering into a sort of krautrock by way of Four Tet one minute, whirling pop ambience the next, synthy sprawling blissed out prismatic new age the next, over the course of the record slipping back and forth between these various sounds, sometimes melding several at once, a [...]

Excerpt [translated from the German]: "Music for films that have yet to be filmed... With keyboards, samples and guitar, Sankt Otten have created impressive new sonic territory. Between elegiac electro-pop, playful and cuddly electric-jazz and ambient slumber songs, this album inhabits the post-rock universe but with classic song structures... You will not be rocked - more relaxed couch surfing with closed eyes." Shallgrenzen

Excerpt: "The wide-ranging album features everything from beatless reveries (e.g., the blinding supernova "Das bezahlte Lob") to motorik workouts, with the duo demonstrating a deft command of their material throughout the recording's forty-nine minutes. Following a heavenly overture of synthetic string-drenched scene-painting and simmering guitar strokes ("Ein Himmel voller Galgen"), "Mutter, Jazz und der Heilige Geist" digs into a slow-motion krautrock vibe, with martial snares calling forth the troops while a gurgling bass line pulsates, electric guitars blaze, and vibraphones chime... A solid follow-up to the group's Hidden Shoal debut Wir koennen ja Freunde bleiben (Let's Remain Friends), [...]
