Hoffnung by Wermut
Third release by Wermut, and the first on their own label (t)reue um (t)reue, "Hoffnung" (2005) seals the bridge between the early post-industrial / neofolk and new minimal-electro influences. Sofia E.R. and Laszlo P.S. take us into a world of pessimistic heroism where Casio / C64 sinewaves and accordion melodies meet, and set Schiller, the New Testament and other forgotten poets to minimal-wave dancefloor anthems or melancholic ballads. 10 songs with male and female vocals in German, English, French and Latin. Post-apocalyptic-minimal-electro at its best!

WERMUT was founded in 2001 in Hamburg, Germany, by Laszlo P.S. and Sofia E.R..
Defying any easy genre-labelling, their music moves insidiously from post-apocalyptic minimal-wave to psychedelic prog-electro with folk and industrial undertones. WERMUT claim Tradition in general and the works of French metaphysician René Guénon in particular as their main source of inspiration.
