European industrial and cold wave rock band Storung has returned with a surprise new release, “Circus Time.” The song is written in the same dark, explosive vein for which fans have come to revere them, and features the added talents of singer-songwriter Sadhana Lila. The release comes more than 30 years after Storung first walked onstage in 1981, and proves that while the industrial music scene may have aged in that time, the driving, dance-inspiring sound of Storung hasn't aged a bit.
The current incarnation of Storung
emerged in 2011, its core artists being drummer Stephanie Klei and
founding member, composer and guitarist Eugenius. A well known and
respected live act for three decades, they now create their brand of
whirling, fiery music in their studio in collaboration with other
artists. The most notable of these collaborators is the powerful,
arresting female vocalist on the “Circus Time” single, Sadhana
Lila. The single also includes a remix titled, “Circus Time – The
Ballroom Remix.” Digital re-releases of Storung's “Induction”
(recorded 1999) and the 1982 LP “This Is Future” are also slated
for release in the coming weeks.
Eugenius, the heart and soul of the
band, has very clear motives in co-writing “Circus Time” with
Sadhana Lila. He says, “'Circus
Time' is about celebration, enjoyment and success. Basically it
conveys the message that, yes, we are all doomed, and things can get
very rough sometimes, but there is still so much out there that can
be done for pleasure and can be done to enjoy.”
Like
the rest of humanity, Eugenius himself has had his ups and downs, but
he's got one thing straight: life's not all pain. “Let’s
celebrate and have fun with every success and every achievement.”
He summarizes this philosophy by paraphrasing some of the most
boisterous, enervating lyrics from “Circus Time.”
“There
is no time to sit down,” he says. “Bring on the bread and bring
on the wine and have some fun!”
The
music listening world might do well with bread and wine, but
Storung's “Circus Time” is a fantastic way to start on a Friday
night.
“Circus
Time” by Storung is available online worldwide beginning 10 April
2013.
