AUA’s second album is set to drop in early 2022

The follow-up to their debut breakthrough promises to bring an electronic space of reflection

German duo Fabian Bremer and Henrik Eichmann under the name AUA have released two singles from their upcoming album. Set to drop in January 2022, ‘The Damaged Organ’ will be the pair’s second album in their experimental, krautrock journey. Based in Leipzig, AUA is a band determined to make their own pop music blueprint with experimental electronics. The weightless melancholy of their music develops an undertone of otherworldliness that promises to remain consistent from their first album to their second.

Making their debut in 2020 with the singles ‘I Don’t Want It Darker’ and ‘Coke Diet,’ both from their subsequent eponymous first album I Don’t Want It Darker, they set the tone for explosive beats and surf guitars underlying their musical style. In anticipation of their second album, they have released singles ‘Post Human Blossom’ and ‘Islands Song.’

The new album will explore the idea of alienation through internal and external reflection, merging introspection and social analysis. The story depicts a search for identity in a way, and that journey is reflected in the DIY production of the album, grounded in a search for inspiration using unusual electronic instruments. ‘Islands Song’ features singer Annika Henderson whose voice brings a new dimension to their modular synth sound. The second single to give us a glimpse at the full album, ‘Post Human Blossom,’ is accompanied by a video directed and animated by Mihailo Kalabic who creates an anatomically inspired, trippy visual illustration to accompany the fluid states represented by the sound of the track.

‘The Damaged Organ’ drops January 21, 2022 on Crazysane records.
