Aus dem Ruder

CD Digipack

3rd and ‘regular’ album after the concept album ‘The Plague Year’ in 2014 (label: sturm, latvia). Since Irklis (formerly known as Audioscope) return to the roots of postindustrial electronic music, they are glad to have found Eric van Wonterghem (Monolith, Absolute Body Control) to do the mastering again and to release this album on his Berlin based label. 8 powerful and atmospheric post-industrial electronic songs with beautiful analogue synth sounds build the scope of this release. accidental, but not without reason the songs draw a picture of uncertainty, distress and inwardness without any settlement of the confict - a mere classical tragedy without release if we would talk about a play. The band is creating their very own kind of dark retro-electonic music combined with cold noise, that may arise from nordic isolation. Indeed they use a lot of cult synthesizers from the 80ties. Irklis once started as a band in Germany in 1988 (back then under the name formā anonym and later audioscope). For more than a decade the 3 members work across Europe with locations in Germany, Latvia and Norway.
