SCHONWALD - New Album Out Soon, New Single And Video Released

Italian darkwave/shoegaze/dream-pop duo Schonwald, who focuses everything on the atmosphere, will release on 20th November via French label Manic Depression Records a new album entitled Abstraction. Minimalist, synthetic and hypnotic atmospheres gaze on New Order, The Cure, Suicide. The guitars echo the blades of My Bloody Valentine, Curve.

Despite its German name, Schonwald is an Italian duo. Despite of its marked influences, Schonwald has a unique place in the European underground and emerges at the expense of their many concerts where a personal universe is revealed, where distills the perfect blend between nostalgia and modernity, coldness and sensuality. Alessandra and Luca create a pulsation, an electronic vibration, atmospheric, black, so cold, which crashes on shiny, hypnotic and melancholic guitars. The perfect match for our modern world, frozen, for ever, and with an obvious effectiveness. Transforming dark into psychedelic drone made of shimmering ethereal movements.

Abstraction is the latest Schonwald’s work where the theme itself is inspired by esoteric hymns, aesthetic mantras, echoes of savage human nature. A voyage through introspection of the 21th century’s utopian hopes. In the player below you can watch the video for the just released single "Fall Apart", and below it you can listen to previously unveiled first single "Inner Sin". Link
