Das Institut – Die Hinterkaifeck Chroniken (Digital/Vinyl EP – Ant-Zen)
This work marks, in a way, the return of the legendary Das Institut. The German duo—Matthias Schuster (Akustikkoppler, Bal Paré, In Namen Des Volkes, etc.) and Trautonia Capra—reappear here with four tracks.
The sound is distinctly Experimental, driven by the magic of old analog synthesizers, which, combined with countless sounds and field recordings, create a kind of sonic patchwork. A hauntingly dark atmosphere looms over the songs, while a subdued, increasingly Cinematic quality emerges. The female voice carries an eerie presence, further enhancing the mysterious aura surrounding this record.
A work that leaves us wanting more but, above all, transports us back in time. (Rating:7).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
