Some will know this moment: suddenly everything is clear.
When Lulu (Electric Moon) and Oli (ex-Urlaub in Polen) bump into each
other at a concert in the legendary Vortex Surfer music club in Siegen,
they both know that same evening: We are a band. They tell Falko, who has
just destroyed the club with his instrumental post-metal band Sarkh.
Just a few months later, the first songs were arranged during the first
rehearsals - fragments of poetry and word play written by Oli, melodic
lines and ideas that were taken up by the band and subsidized and refined
on the respective instruments.
The debut “White Clouds” was created in less than a year – recorded,
mixed and mastered in Falko’s underground recording studio “Institut Für
Angewandten Krach”. During that time, the band attends one of the last
concerts of the wonderful noise post-math rock band Shellac in Amsterdam.
All three are equally deeply impressed and moved by this show and
incorporate Steve Albini's spirit into their debut, which they ultimately
dedicated to him. Added to this is their very own drift - pain and hope,
the unconditional will of rock 'n' roll, depth and steep flight, highly
dynamic, playful, hypnotic-driving passages and repeated melodies with
resonance, as well as the connection between the three musicians, promise
a debut and live concerts with a yeah factor.

The Barren Room are:
Oli Hilse - guitar, vocals
