Die Gestalten ‎– Du Bist

One of two Die Gestalten releases to make itself manifest in 2024, the elusive German electro moniker once again take(s) a heavy UR inspiration to a looser and more contemporaneous end, laying down four killer electro tools for the more tenacious tune selector. With this record described by the label as «made by a completely unknown source out of nowhere», to use the word «elusive» to describe this act would be an overstatement; check their back catalogue for an audio-induction, as it’s technically all you’ll need. The visage-obscurant ‘Erinnerungen’ and follower ‘Du Bist’ sound like clanging Martian mashups, nailing a certain mood of cartoon suspense, one often heard in the Platonic sci-fi soundtrack immediately after a plot-essential crash landing. ‘Der Wanderer’ closes on a much dourer note of animalistic acid, signifying much less than the A besides a comparatively carnal all-consumption.
