District 13 - Pandora's Hope - CD

Between partially rough yet pleasant synthpop sounds and sparse space-age references, 13 songs have emerged, meandering between passion, energy, and electrifying noir-pop, meticulously crafted and atmospherically resonant down to every corner. It's precisely these moods that can weaken a strong individual and from which one draws strength! Sometimes it's a tormented soul singing, sometimes hope, and sometimes joy. Reflecting the sentiments of many at the moment, this album resonates with profound depth. The tracks (written and produced between November 2021 and April 2024) oscillate between shimmering electronica and bold synthpop, yet everything unfolds as one great flow. "Pandora opened the box given to her by Zeus. Subsequently, all vices and misdeeds escaped from it. From that moment on, evil conquered the world." It celebrates joy, sadness, powerlessness, hope, and melancholy in their highest form - poignant, human, fragile, and uplifting. Conclusion: There's always a way out of the deep valley. Hovering above each of the album's thirteen tracks, uniquely adorned by Per-Anders Kurenbach with bass, synthesizer, organ, piano, percussion, and programmed drums, is the voice of Alex Erbacher, fluctuating multifariously between anger, melancholy, and empathy.
