CURSE OF LONO KRIEGER

‘Krieger’ is the emotive, historically poignant, new single from Curse Of Lono. Musically, it starts as a minimalistic track that lays thick bass and restrained drums at the bottom of the texture, allowing Felix Bechtolsheimer’s voice and delicate guitar to take centre stage. However, bursts of intense heaviness permeate the texture every now and again, reacting to lyrics about his grandfather’s uncle: “Despite being a decorated war hero, Heinrich was one of the first Jews in the small town of Alzey to be deported by the Nazis. On 28th June 1938, only three months after the outbreak of the Second World War, he was arrested and sent to Dachau Concentration Camp “for his own protection”. He was moved to Buchenwald Concentration Camp on 23rd September that year, where he remained until he was shot on the 13th of April 1940.” Keep an ear out for more honest, moving music from Curse Of Lono. -Dan Peeke
