Product Review

Fusing a rigorous minimal concept with the power of a rock band, Sonar have quickly gained international reputation for their uncompromising sound. With their slow-build approach to dramaturgy and avoidance of conventional forms, they focus on the deep interactions between members Stephan Thelen (guitar), Bernhard Wagner (guitar), Christian Kuntner (electric bass) and Manuel Pasquinelli (drums). This fifth release has them partnered with guitarist, composer and producer David Torn. 'Vortex', their previous album with Torn, blew heads open with its rare blend of seductive chemistry and sonic shards. The tracks were recorded live at Moods Jazz Club in Zürich, Switzerland, on May 24th, 2018.
