Anstam will release a new album in October called Stones and Woods.

Mystique has surrounded Anstam ever since the project debuted in 2007, some of which has been cleared up since the release of his debut album, Dispel Dances—once a duo with a mysterious second member, Anstam is now known to be a solo act by the German artist Lars Stöwe. His new album will land almost exactly a year after Dispel Dances, and on the same label: Modeselektor's tireless 50 Weapons imprint. If the trailer below is anything to go by, expect more of the ominous experimental bass music that Anstam is famous for.



Tracklist
01. Morning Shiver Down the Black Wood River
02. Hope's Soliloquy
03. Me and Them
04. Heart’s Soliloquy
05. My Dreams Are Made of Steam
06. Handsome Dances the Dance
07. Time Will Show You Who I Am
08. The Herald and the Lamb
09. Shoulders

50 Weapons will release Stones and Woods on October 26th, 2012.

Fri, 18 Jan 2013Big fan of Anstam, thought this album would grow on me and maybe it still will? But as of yet I'm not convinced.

Thanks for the read. My post actually came prior to this review; I actually was surprised to see such a poor review for Anstam. But I can see why the reviewer leaned this way.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013Shaman's Path is an incredibly mediocre album. There is nothing even remotely interesting about the music

People's standards these days...they'll lavish praise on a dime-a-dozen dub techno albums

Wed, 16 Jan 2013i found the majority of this album a great listen, 2.5 is a way off review. 3.5 for me.

Wed, 16 Jan 2013It's not revolutionary or not necessarily new, but i think a 3 would be fair as well. It makes up with a few great songs like the opening track, my dreams are made of steam, and handsome dances the dance

Wed, 16 Jan 2013I think 3 would be fair but such a disappointment after dispel dances that blew my fucking head off
