The Fernweh will release it on October 29th.
Following the Wounds Of Love single at the start of this year, The Fernweh have confirmed the details of their second album TORSCHLUSSPANIK!.
The live-recorded new track The Pike, also unveiled today, is seen by the band as another bridge between their 2018 self-titled debut LP and the sound which underpinned that aforementioned single.
“The guitar riff sparkled like a fish and the fish quickly became a Pike, a kind of monster or demon of rural folklore,” Ned Crowther explains.
“It was always one of those urban myths growing up swimming in rivers: ‘Dean Jenkins knows someone who had his finger bitten off by a pike!’.”
“So, when we look at a pike we really do look into our own fears and meet our match. They inspire an awe that goes beyond that so that they become like ancient mythological beasts with almost supernatural powers.”
