For fans of LPF12 the new year begins with a musical trip into the antarctic continent. With his new double-album WHITEOUT, german electronic musician Sascha Lemon shows us the bare isolation of this place, the danger within, but also it’s almost surreal beauty. WHITEOUT is a fictional soundtrack for three research stations (Aboa, Byrd, Great Wall) and the specific weather condition, where heaven and earth become blurred, giving the album it’s title.

Over a length of 166 minutes atmospheric soundscapes, noise elements, ethnic voices and catchy melodies melt into a musical landscape between icy quietness and captivating complexity. Ambient meets Industrial, assimilating with lush Drone-sections. The boundaries of musical genres become blurred. LPF12 celebrates his very own Whiteout and gives us a lengthy, entertaining inner journey.

WHITEOUT will be released on January 31st, 2012 as name your price/free download via Bandcamp and Ionium Records.

“I brought myself to town late at night. I cadged a cigarette off a tramp and took a seat on the railings till all that noize and fuss at the station made me wanna lurk somewhere in the dark. I was roaming a couple of hours before I managed to find a decent bar which offered booze I could afford to get up to the moment. Down in the cellar among fools and drunkards, trapped between stench of cheap liqueurs and acrid smoke I saw a nice chick who dragged me out in the streets. We hung out for a while and later on made out near a deserted car park on junk. We had a really good time. I lost her somewhere around downtown, crawling there, followed by a police car. Nothing can bring me down. I like this music. I call myself a City Hound. They call me Absent One.”

Absent One, a famous Russian garage-synth band, was formed in 2009, Moscow. It was created by the friends Nick and Alex. Over the whole year the band was giving concerts all over the state. They drew public attention after performing at the first Russian Goth Festival “Dark Entries”.

The debut album “Blowback”, released the same year and re-released as a download on Ionium Records in 2011, had a rather specific sound, in a way reminiscent of Covenant, and was favorably received by critics. The Song “Stewardess” was then included in the “Synth Radio Russians” compilation.

The year 2010 showed significant changes both in the music and the style of the performance. Still using pure electronic sound, the band tended to goth, punk and garage genres. The new backing vocalist Helen introduced cabaret manner into the new sounding. The Track “Hollywood” was included in the “Best Russian Dark Stage artists” compilation.

Absent One continues to perform on a regular basis and the new album “Places” will be released on Ionium Records on October 14th.

Let’s face it, they have created a monster, its tentacles spread from Germany to Norway, its head buried deep inside the darkest pit of our minds… now it is time to unleash it upon the rest of the world and let it feed until its ugly belly feels no more hunger or thirst.. at least for a while.

When Ghostfog and Liquid Grey started this project they just thought about doing a few sounds, a few tracks together but soon they found out that they wanted more, and why not? In these days of uninspired commercialized corporate music all around us they felt like doing what they do best, which is to do exactly what they want without any compromises and without any plans to “make it big” and make “big money” out of it. To hell with corporate polished music, this is the raw deal!

Ghostfog took it one step further and suggested that they make an album and maybe go even further He also came up with the brilliant title “Thornfields” and did some great artwork . These are very exciting times my friends and this is just the beginning, in other words ” chapter one” in this trip through the darkest parts of the subconscious. Fasten your seat belts…Now Thornfields are happy to present you with the latest results they’ve been working on for so many days and nights. It became a pretty strange mix of styles but became very chilling in the end. Have a glass of wine lay down and take a look at the moon.. They’re far beyond.

The album, originally appeared on DOGMA, will be published on September 27th, 2011 in all well-known download stores and as a download via afmusic and Ionium Records.
