After MACCLESFIELD produced so many tracks with ESC applicant songs in their own studio, EmE Studios Hannover, that it was enough for a promo CD, the band expanded their ambitions to include a vinyl production!
The LP, released on the Hanover-based label Yellow Snake Records, offers a varied overview of the band's recent history:
Thus, it documents the band's transition from lead singer Andrea Tretter to the two young singers Charlotte Blase and Frida Görth, and back to Andrea, who rejoined the band during production. All three singers can be heard on the LP. And that's not all: Salina Kargl-Williams, the young singer who recently joined MACCLESFIELD, can also be heard on the two newest songs, "Into New Skies" and "Mr. Analogue ," both of which were presented by the band at the national pre-selection for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in San Marino.
In addition, some interesting international guests will be performing in the piece! Judge for yourself the style and musical quality.
However, another special feature should not go unmentioned:
While side 1 is designed in the band's typical style, MACCLESFIELD made a point of paying tribute on side 2 to certain musicians who had recently passed away, with a cover and a piece of their own:
First up are the Hanoverian krautrock band Jane. Of the four members who recently passed away, the band knew two personally. The cover features Werner Nadolny's original top hat, which has since become the band's possession. The band pays tribute to Jane with an 18-minute cover version of "Fire, water, earth and air/Fire – You give me some sweet lovin'".
With their self-composed piece "Nachklang" (Echo), the band pays tribute to Dr. Dr. Dieter Schnebel, one of the most important composers of atonal modernism. The piece references Schnebel's work "Orchestra," in which the musicians change positions during the recording. It begins with the title "Einklang" (Harmony) and ends with the title "Ausklang" (Echo).
