Out on 11 January (digitally and on cassette via Cut Surface & Wsmtml) is the all new Sundl album “Four”. “Four” pays homage to both the dark 1980s as well as the vibrant Viennese underground scene and includes a cover of “Mesmerism” by darkwave legends Dead Can Dance, featuring vocals by Terz Nervosa. The whole was mixed and mastered by Philipp Forthuber.

This is the 4th album for the Vienna-based solo artist following the self-titled debut (2020), “II” (2021) and “3” (2023). He has this to say about the musical evolution: “While remaining true to my signature approach of blending samples, retro sounds, guest vocals and instruments, the various elements are more distinct, each standing out in its own right.”

Just Friends and Lovers’ Lina Gärtner and Veronika Adamski contribute live instruments to several tracks, including “Oak” (vocal samples by Terz Nervosa), “How Sweet” (vocal samples by poet Linda Pastan), “Diving” (vocal samples by Lina Gärtner), and “Mesmerism” (additional arrangements by composer Andreas Karl). The lyrics for The Space are written and performed by Vienna-based Lithuanian artist Hylut.

Out already are the first two singles, “For” and “Mesmerism” feat Terz Nervosa. A 3rd video single “How Sweet” follows on January 25th.

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.
