Jungstötter's 'Sustained' Album: A Dark, Dense Masterpiece
Fabian Altstötter, known as Jungstötter, released his third solo album 'Sustained' at the end of May. The former Sizarr singer continues his dark and challenging musical path, blending piano, strings, electronics, and noise in a more reduced manner, far from conventional song structures. The album is his most cohesive work to date, with tracks like 'Again' featuring Ronja Schößler of Roomer on vocals and cello, 'Tell this Lover' evoking James Blake with a sample loop against acoustic guitar, and 'Loud Fingers' offering a grandiosity that collapses mid-track. References to Scott Walker, Anohni, and Mark Hollis remain apt. The album is available via Flight 13 Records.
