On their second album,
Wort-Ton expertly combine German-language poetry with catchy, yet dark electronic club music. Featuring guest vocals from
Blutengel-mastermind
Chris Pohl & known from
Blutengel's hit single 'Über den Horizont!'
Wort-Ton first stirred up waves in early 2011, when they recorded the b-side 'Leere Räume' in collaboration with
Blutengel for their charts-approved single 'Über den Horizont'.
On their second album 'Lichtsuche', they now expertly fuse catchy and atmospheric electronic music (at times not too far removed from
Blutengel's tightrope act fusing Gothic and Pop) with elegiac and deep-felt German-language poetry.
Blutengel singer and mastermind
Chris Pohl has contributed his unique voice to the album, again, as well. Sonic journey, poetry slam or Pop Music?
Wort-Ton are all of that and so much more: a fascinating reinvention of German poetic culture!
