“Aquatint”, the most ambitious Testbild! project to date, is a conceptual piece coloured by the sea. The music is a dream-like descent into steam fog and black swirls. Layers of cinematic pop and 60’s jazz mix with sea shanties, Mexican trumpets and vibraphones. It is the echoes from a forgotten harbour, where the ropes never stopped creaking and the meteorograph went on ticking.
The release, which is the fifth Testbild! album since 2002, includes 20 songs in 68 minutes, including the recent mp3 single “My brother submariner” / “Garnet brand land”. Written and performed by Stepbrother Ernest, Jana T. Mekka, Nathaniel Mist, Goliath Quadslums, Furian Siber and Dustin Spunkvolt, except “My brother the submariner, written by Matt Jones of The Hepburns.
