The titans of industrial and dark wave
music known as Storung have released their newest single, titled,
“Attraction.” The song is composed and performed in the same
powerful, driving noir style that has characterized Storung since
their inception in 1981, and is an excellent example of how they have
stayed relevant and evocative throughout their storied career.
At the heart of “Attraction,” just
as at the core of Storung, itself, is mastermind songwriter and
instrumentalist Eugenius Otte. This latest (and in some ways,
greatest) release from Storung is somewhat more intimately personal
to Eugenius than some of Storung's music in the past.
“I created this track ,‘Attraction,’
at a time when I was heavily attracted to a lady,” writes Storung's
Eugenius. “I mean really attracted, completely over the top. I
urgently needed to beat my brain to get some therapy and to regain
some control over myself. That is the reason for creating the track.”
The music is not, however, a serenade,
nor does it sound like romance. Rather, it is the essence of wild
passion boiled down to a thick, potent audio experience. Its drums
are like the irascible, relentless pistons of a gigantic machine, its
guitars like a set of charging waves that wash over and around the
listener in floods of sonic heat. Eugenius' real-life attraction
inspired it all, including an official music video.
That’s why you hear this pulsing,
bombing beat,” he explains, “and see a rather annoying video as
some sort of shout out. The amount of energy you are exposed to when
listening and viewing the track is generated from a real, personal
experience. May it be with you prior to losing your head!”
Listeners can lose their heads over
“Attraction” by Storung beginning late spring / early summer of
2013 when it goes online worldwide.
