December, autumn is definitely over, the trees have lost their leaves, and frost sets in at night. If possible, you can enjoy a walk in the sunny weather and clear air. Back home in your warm apartment, you make yourself a cup of tea and put on a record. Some prefer the latest guitar sound from a band that is still unknown, while others, like me, currently prefer the quiet sounds of Klangkollektor.
Klangkollektor is the solo project by Lars Fischer, former drummer of Nuremberg band Trak Trak. He released earlier this year an EP called Dubtapes No. 2, a record that was played often since at my home. Now he is back with a recording, when he was invited by his record label Before I Die in August this year.
It is a cross-section of his releases from recent years. Dub-heavy ambient that leaves room for interpretation and piano interludes. An extraordinary and beautiful record.
