After the first and second EPs, the German-Hungarian synthpop duo Ultranoire (lead singer Josef Stapel, Szilard Kun keyboards and programming) announces their debut album ‘Disclosure’ which include six songs from Ultranoire’s first and second EPs, an instrumental interlude and another four brand new tracks which never have been aired or released before. Each song is produced by Ultranoire and mastered by the well-known Hungarian sound engineer Tamas ’Silk’ Sellyei at Hit Space Budapest. If you ever thought that in the traditional sense synthpop is dead, then here is the evidence that this musical genre is alive, kicking and can produce demanding songs. Ultranoire’s debut album ‘Disclosure’ is a deeply emotional high level mid tempo synthesis. Songwriter and lead singer Josef Stapel says ‘all lyrics are pure personal ingenuous disclosures of longing, suffering and everyday human frustrations. I needed a place where I can fall into melancholy, where I can write songs. I chose Hungary where we were both born. Our hometown is the perfect place for that’. Ultranoire songs are created consciously. All songs are built up on contrasts of sensitive baritone vocals and cold inorganic monotonous electronic sounds.

After the critically acclaimed physical release debut “WolfSkill” (2014) the German Electro /Synth-Pop Band Kasper Hate are ready to release their second CD album in cooperation with Scentair Records The 13-Song Album is called “Raw Patchouli” and the title definitely characterizes the whole album concept in it’s (Kasper Hate – typical) broadly-based musical diversity. The great and gritty mixture from retro-synth sounds and modern electronic tunes, cold and elegiac ballads followed by fist-pumping (sometimes industrial-related) EBM tracks, eerie pitched vocals and cleverly knitted cores of catchy melodies and rhythms will prove that the music of Kasper Hate is more than an insider’s tip but rather has to be heard!
