"It's time to write anthems for the boundless!
"Anthem for no man's land"
Under this title, Andreas Schaerer, Luciano Biondini, Kalle Kalima and Lucas Niggli have set to work to create a new album. Music that propagates the overcoming of territorial thinking, borders and egoism.
"We don't want to address our audience with theoretical manifestos, but with sensual, emotional music. We don't just want to propagate freedom, we want to live it in the music together with the audience," says their statement.
Anyone who has ever been to a concert by this band will have experienced this for themselves. The gatherings of this trans-European quartet are more like a ritual liberation ceremony than a conventional concert. With their last album "A Novel Of Anomaly", the band toured throughout Europe and North America. In over a hundred concerts, they have developed an intense band sound that is second to none. Somewhere in no man's land between archaic alpine influences, Italianità, psychedelic rock and multi-ethnic polyrhythms. Coupled with explosive interplay and passionate improvisation.
Their music is a wild mixture of unexpected twists and turns, crazy sounds and moments full of surprises. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes totally crazy - always different than you think.
Their new album "Anthem For No Man's Land" will be released by ACT Music in spring 2025.
"With them, you float enraptured through worlds of sound that (...) reveal a grandiose splendor of detail, which Andreas Schaerer wondrously animates with his voice."
