shone

"unknowncrooner" is a project by Wolfgang Schramml from Salzburg/Austria. A rare kind of Pop Music, with various influences ranging from folk to blues,funk, cinematic filmscores, jazz, electronic and ethnic music. What makes this album special? unknowncrooner uses the entire recording studio as a complex and powerful instrument, including everything contained in it, not only musical instruments, but all objects and sounds possible, every technical gadget and technique is used and abused in various ways. This leads to a pretty unique sound, that will excite listeners that are looking for music with a distinctive texture and a special twist. But - after all - this is still Pop Music! Music and lyrics on this album strive for a compelling marriage. The topics include coming of age, art, anger, unfinished trails, wishful thinking, guilt, judgement, crooning, the joys of life, , glitches in the system, the concept of truth, multiverses of ambivalence, the liquid nothingness, ripening plans, white lies, wake-up-calls, burned portraits, fade-outs, barking dogs... Love songs are - of course - also to be found on this record, but they will be in a slightly different vein. "shone" is an album, that will reveal it's beauty step by step, there's something new to discover every time you'll listen to it.
