Me Succeeds – We wait for you in the whirlpool (Soundtrack for a universe)
With their new album „We wait for you in the whirlpool (Soundtrack for a universe)“ Me Succeeds enter an experimental and ambient cosmos based on their own parameters. Unknown universes, unseen constellations and non-existing worlds are explored in nine tracks that leave space for various interpretation and wide imagination. By the abdication of beats and percussion the band breaks with their rhythm based tradition of former releases and fully focuses on their synthesizers, samples, bass and clarinet. The unique leading voice of singer Mona Steinwidder is set pointed on just two tracks of the album, making its appearance feel like a rare sight of a singular phenomenon.
The album is released on October 15th 2021 digital on the band’s own run label ststst and as a limited cassette edition with golden print on transparent body in a retro yet timeless design.
Experimental pop duo Me Succeeds blurs the boundaries of house and experimental music. Embraced by singer Mona Steinwidders tender, yet engaging voice, the musical arrangement of her male counterpart Lorin Strohm is made to float mantra-like by loops of live improvisation, YouTube clips and small smartphone sound snippets.
Individual passages of text are repeated over several songs and, depending on the context, become statements that can be interpreted differently. A Me Succeeds live performance is always a dialogue that is conducted on stage it is never the same and always open to new results.
In addition to the cafeteria at Berghain, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Thalia Theater or Kampnagel Hamburg, Me Succeeds have performed on numerous international stages in the festival, exhibition and performance area. Her shows are fluid and keep evolving. "Everything except hits. At Me Succeeds this is meant as a compliment,” writes Spex Magazin.
Together they run the label ststst Steinwidder Strohm Sound Therapies
