Sophie Hunger - Halluzinationen (2020) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Again there is a new principle in the recording universe of Sophie Hunger. When it came to the instruments last time (on "Molecules" only Drum Machine, Synthesizer, acoustic guitar and voice were allowed according to album Dogma), it's now about the type of recording. Everything has to be live, Overdubs and even subsequent changes of the song order are forbidden.

Over two days, she and her Band play through the entire Album six times from start to finish in a One-Take process. The result is called "hallucinations", shows hunger's various musical facets, which have been tried out over the course of her career, and is, hardly surprising, again quite great. Few artists package timeless music as forward-looking as Sophie Hunger for "hallucinations".

If Hunger acted on" Molecules " stylistically deliberately limited, it now turns free – perhaps in response to it. Already during her last Tour, the Swiss experimented with bringing the Synth-Pop Setup of "Molecules" into line with her earlier phases. This resulted in new Arrangements, a mixture of electronics and jazzy, psychedelic improvisation on organic instruments. The fruits of this symbiosis are called "Liquid Air", "hallucinations", "Alpha Venom", "Everything is Good"and" Security Check". Julian Sartorius ' repetitive, but special Drumbeats shape the sound picture, Synths waver, and in the form of idiosyncratically playful melodies also give the beat.
