end of summer is nearby again and luise is reminiscing this year s precious moments. with a touch of melancholy and weightless beauty zazou & an on bast are setting the right theme for the upcoming autumn days. while knowing and following each other s musical progression for years, this celebration of polish-german friendship came off with unexpected ease and utterly pleasing results. in the spirit of collaboration this release is supported by basel s charming arutani on the vinyl side and luises own niju aswell as plattenfreund gottlieb scheppert on the digital outlet. completion it is by any means.

yet again the leafs are turning neon golden, reminding us of the change of seasons lying at the edge of our doorstep. the first cold breezes and the fading warmth of the sun, which we just took for granted so easily, sketch the outline of that mild and soothing melancholia resting in autumn s palms. a mood we can very well enjoy to bury in deeply and with luise s newest release listen to closely. -mentis excessus- is a tenderly crafted tale, a musical journey that paints broad images of false memories and blurry resemblances. like a déjà-vu that lasts too long to put aside, it crawls up your neck to give you that eerie feeling of curiosity with which you look at the uncanny world that suddenly surrounds you. we are very pleased to welcome -wide awake- as the most recent addition to luises s sheltered, little family, a project that has its foundations at the talented hands and hearts of -niju-, -ninze- & -okaxy-. these three banded together for greater good to provide nothing less, but their as well as laut & luise s first album. not restless, no insomnia, just wide awake.
