When Mary is back with their second album.
TAINTED is inspired by the classic tale of Faust, the man who drives himself to damnation in his search for true enlightenment. Can the archetypical characters of Faust mirror modern day experiences?
TAINTED is darker and more electronic than the acclaimed debut album “7summers7winters” (2013). The album is shaped like a German Song Cycle and draws inspiration from the Franz Schubert song “Gretchen am Spinnrade”, in which he portrays the mental and emotional turmoil of one of the characters. The album spans multiple genres, opening in the classical sphere, ending with a touch of the blues, yet never leaving its electronic foundation.
Track list:
Prelude (Meine Ruh Ist Hin)
Soothing Stitches
Interlude (Ist Mir Das Grab)
Wings of Wax
Out of Spaces
Eternity
Wonderful Warning
Frequency
Postlude (Wo Ich Ihn Nicht Hab)
