Swiss garage punk duo WolfWolf has returned with their fourth studio album, 'Totentanz', a sonic exploration of mortality and the grotesque characters that inhabit their unique musical universe.
"We've always seen WolfWolf as more than just a band; it's a universe of freaks and dark creatures that we've created over the years with our songs," say the enigmatic Mr. Wolf & Mr. Wolf.
'Totentanz' doesn't disappoint, offering a captivating journey through a world of melancholic misfits and macabre imagery. From the hypnotic pull of 'Black Hole' to the spectral vengeance of 'Ghost Of Bran', each track unveils a new facet of WolfWolf's twisted imagination. The album also delves into the seedy underbelly of urban nightlife with 'Heavy Sick' and spins a tale of existential dread with 'Heidi Is Alive'.
Recorded at Food Corner Studio and mixed by industry veterans, the album boasts a rich soundscape that blends new wave drums, industrial elements, and the haunting melodies of the Mellotron. The result is a sonic tapestry that is both familiar and refreshingly innovative.
Visually, 'Totentanz' is equally striking. The album artwork, featuring sculptures by Barbara Gut and lettering by Heini Gut, captures the essence of the album's themes. The duo's raw energy and signature blend of garage punk and blues trash remain at the forefront, but 'Totentanz' demonstrates a clear evolution in their songwriting and sonic palette. With each track, WolfWolf invites listeners to confront the inevitability of death while celebrating the beauty of life's fleeting moments.
'Totentanz' is a testament to WolfWolf's enduring creativity and their ability to weave compelling narratives through their music. It is a must-listen for fans of garage punk, blues trash, and anyone who appreciates music that is both visceral and thought-provoking.
