Where the last album „Pandemie“ was dominated by powerful orchestral sounds, Wellenfeld returned with their latest work "Elements" back to their roots. Synthetic sounds definitely set the tone. The well-known, pleasant melancholy in their melodies combined with the typical monotone sequences has become the hallmark of Wellenfeld within the past 10 years. This includes also technoid spots with apocalyptic character. And that is exactly what makes "Elements" unique. Easily drifting beats and extra portion of bass are not necessarily new for Wellenfeld, but on "Elements" even more significant. Quick flashbacks to songs of past albums are probably not a coincidence, but in case they are it is even more fun. Overall, the album spreads a somehow gloomy character and fits perfectly with the upcoming dark season. So, 11 new songs arose in the last two years, each standing for itself merging into a single entity. Explicit recommendation… and not just for fans of Wellenfeld.
