Phasenmensch - "Haunted [The gentle Indifference of the World]”
To celebrate 10 years of his musical brainchild Phasenmensch, Wolfram Bange graces us with his arguably darkest, and definitely most coherent album yet. „Haunted“ deals with personal demons, anxieties and hopes that determine the individual’s state of being.
Musically, this album travels from trademark fragile electronica over different expressions of harshness into an eerie void.
Support comes from Phasenmensch associates Romeo Knight, Ein Profil and Ine-San, who have contributed sounds to some tracks respectively.
Prepare for a good hour walk alongside the abyss!
All tracks were written by Phasenmensch, mastered by Henning Hinck, layout by Nicola Bork, photography by Teye Gerbracht.
“As the walls inside and around us get thicker, the vibrating echoes of our past become louder and louder, forming a Gordian knot. Being haunted by ourselves we lose track of here and now. We are bound by our fears and confronted with the choice to give in or finally face ourselves. The latter, while being dangerous, leading us to a better self that is driven by an open mind and most of all (self-) acceptance.” - Phasenmensch
I very much agree. This is, hands down, Wolfram’s best work as of yet.
