Subsignal - A Poetry Of Rain - VINYL LP

The scene is dominated by a grey, atmospheric and dense late autumn day. Much too soon, the sky has darkened. Now rain pelts down uniformly and regularly on the streets, on the earth, on the morose-looking people. This is how one imagines the atmosphere in which the sixth Subsignal studio album InchA Poetry of RainInch was created. The InchpredecessorInch InchLa MuertaInch is a kind of contrast and requires much more familiarity from the listener. InchA Poetry of RainInch, on the other hand, is new territory for everyone involved. This album is also inspired by ancient legends, which are transferred into the modern age. In the rock song InchThe Art of Giving InInch, the Icarus myth features prominently. The over-confidence of mankind, it's hubris... losses and goodbyes are also addressed. For five seemingly endless years, Subsignal kept their followers waiting for new acoustic sound adventures. InchAnd that again had to do with the pandemic,Inch reveals Markus Steffen the reason for the excruciatingly long break. InchExistential anxieties crept in,Inch he reflects. InchAs a result, long-time bassist Ralf Schwager left the band. With Martijn Horsten from Rotterdam, however, a worthy replacement was quickly found. Nevertheless, the ten songs are full of longing and a good portion of melancholy. InchAccording to Markus Steffen, Subsignal want to present Inchinteresting song structures that are always transparent at the same time. Inch Furthermore, according to Steffen, Inchwhen composing, it's like a kind of trance at the push of a button. So I don't necessarily have to be in a sad mood to immortalise sad songs on paper. A special atmosphere is enough for me to conjure up the film of a classic Subsignal piece in my mind. It is precisely this unusual approach that makes our formation so original. InchTracklisting 1.
