What happens when a mature songwriter and singer teams up with an accomplished rock drummer and studio freak, both musically and privately? The result, somewhere between the sofa, kitchen, and studio, is an eclectic collection of songs that are a little out of date, yet still sound surprisingly modern. Traditional songwriting on guitar or piano, coupled with work in their own high-tech studio, without a producer or label constantly watching the clock, allowed NOSAER protagonists Felician Siebenstaern and Micha Strauss to get their songs to the point, no matter how long it took. Thus, over three years, "Signals From Eternity" evolved into a thoroughly successful, organic album, certainly with mainstream appeal, but entirely without pandering to current pop trends. The two finally mixed the work in a pop-up studio on the west coast of Ireland, which is subtly evident in the result, at least in terms of the vibe. Atmospheric sounds like those on “Black To Wide” and “Signals To Eternity” are accompanied by songs with hit potential, such as “Hide Yourself” with its magnificent (and long) chorus. Clean and harder guitars mingle with elegiac synthesizer pads; the drums often have a very unique tempo and stand out pleasantly from the contemporary minimalism of boom-chack-boom-chack. The album has a remarkable musical and emotional depth and breadth. Drummer and producer Micha Strauss once said in a quiet moment: “When I was 13, drumming saved my life.” For Felician Siebenstaern, sounds, words, and colors have formed an interwoven unity since early childhood, which she shapes into stories in her songs.
If you listen deeply to the songs, you suddenly understand what it means when music becomes an essential expression of your own life.
Felician Siebenstaern challenges the listener with introspective lyrics that reflect considerable life experience. The "inner rush of life that drives you forward," as she describes it, is the basis of her often pleasantly melancholy, yet always positive writing. Felician's themes include profound personal experiences, embracing life's recurring changes, and the courage to look beyond the facades and surfaces.
With their debut, NOSAER unleashes an international rock album with pop charm for adults and those who aspire to adulthood. And the world deserves to hear it!
