Carpathian Forest - The Last Sigh Of Nostalgia

Drifting Sun

Sven's compositions often transport listeners to inspiring, ethereal realms. Cellos and pianos paint soft, contemplative landscapes, tinged with underlying angst and longing, showcasing Sven's talent for translating life stories into relatable and evocative music.

With 'The Undefined Feeling of Discomfort', Sven presents an album this time brimming with anxiety, fear, and anticipation. Struggle permeates the music, enhanced by distorted vocals, acoustic guitars and drone pads. Sven once again evokes deep emotions, guiding the listener through a powerful sonic journey.

The album opens with a floating, introspective tone. The atmosphere is dark, and an anxious feeling gradually emerges. As the first city lights appear from afar, a tumultuous force sweeps everything away, like an undertow shattering waves on a coastline. Moving on, choir-like vocals bring in a biblical aspect, adding darker, soul-wrenching depth. It feels like a scream from the abyss, leaving an empty shell resonating with its vastness. Soft guitar notes offer hope, but the passage ends with intense anxiety, and feelings of rapid flashes before one's eyes throwing us off balance.

Further along, a rise from uncertainty hints at a resolution. It starts with a sense of battle and resistance illustrated with hopeful strings and a heartbeat-like backbeat. A force emerges from the dark sonic cloud pierced by a tenacious sun. The second half brings resolution and lightness, offering hope and comforting certainty amidst the alarming tension of this transitional phase. The album leaves us feeling chaos after the storm, atoms crushing into one another. With a calmer end, as if the initial rumble had passed, a scar remains. The memory lingers, but things move forward. 

The Undefined Feeling of Discomfort

wlr180 Sven Laux - The Undefined Feeling of Discomfort

Overture. Hope.

Holding Patterns. Sometimes I think I spend too much time in airports.

Low Motion. Originally titled “Slow motion” until I realized there are thousands of songs titled “Slow Motion”. I dropped the “S”. This is “Low Motion”.

Static Lullaby. Probably not really a Lullaby per se, and maybe not ambient. You can decide.

Losing Yourself in the Answer. Perfect.

Go Home. I really am enjoying myself. I’m having a good time, but truth be told I really just want to go home.

One Foot. In this life sometimes the best we can do is put one foot in front of the other.

The Day the Internet Went Away. Inspired by a power outage. What did we used to do before the internet?

Geraniums. I think they are one of my favorite flowers for some reason, I don’t know why.

Seventy Eights. As in 78 RPM records where it all started. There is something fascinating about taking little clips of sound and making them into something else.
