Post-Rock Trio VERSTÄRKER Announces New Album “V” ‣ CVLTARTES

On October 11, 2024 after more than 20 years of band history, Verstärker will release their 5th studio album titled “V” on Finaltune Records.

Consists of five new tracks recorded live (38 min) and will be released on Finaltune Records, label of Collapse Under The Empire.

While the songs on the predecessor “Themes & Variations” (2020) were real instrumental monoliths between post-and kraut-rock, the new songs are more compact and catchy, but still instrumental post-rock sculptures that trigger exuberant, long-lasting feelings of happiness: dynamics and melancholy, sometimes energetic and euphoric, then again wide areas and lush sound sculptures.

Three instruments, rumbling, meandering, floating basses (Alexander Gilli), bell-like hymnic, then again rough guitars (Roberto Cruccolini), unadorned, driving, decomposing, oscillating drums (Wolfgang Walter).

“V” is post-rock: massively euphoric walls of sound piled up into infinite spheres with an intense, multi-faceted instrumental flow. Here, Mogwai’s intensity and Motorpsycho’s playfulness meet Russian Circles’ anthems and Maserati’s musical playfulness.
