Spring Rites by Tannhauser Orchestra
Spring Rites is the seventh studio album by Belgian shoegazers Tannhauser Orchestra. The follow-up to 2021’s lauded The Fade, Spring Rites is an even more turbulent and savage work. Described by the band as ‘dream punk’, breakneck song tempos and aggressive guitar sounds are again juxtaposed with hushed vocal harmonies and cavernous synths.
In preparation for the album, the band made use of an array of metal amps to sculpt a sonorous yet highly defined tone.
Bandcamp wrote "Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion." (New and Notable section)
