Christian Löffler will release a new album, Mare, via Ki Records in October.
It's been four years since his debut album, A Forest, which scored high marks from RA at the time. The new LP is mostly built from sounds he recorded in a cabin by the Baltic Sea in Germany, where he set up a studio to work on the album. In addition to field recordings from the surrounding area, it incorporates an antique marimba, a mandolin zither and some custom-modified synthesizers. Mare includes four tracks with Mohna, the lead singer of Hamburg-based band Me Succeeds, as well as three tracks with Löffler himself singing.
