Tesco 094 will be the CD/LP release of Apoptose - Ana Liil - the band travels towards new dimensions in their musical style.Ana Liil doesn't want to be your friend – she lives in an entirely separate world. Maybe at night you see her shape behind a grimy window in the neighbourhood, or you hear her singing from afar. But you will never get closer to her. “I don't know who she is,” Apoptose says. “One day she just emerged. Like a thought that sounds logic in your dreams but completely strange in daylight.” 

Apoptose’s “ana liil” plays with your expectations. This album spins within close range of those dark ambient realms that Apoptose became known for since the early 2000s. Songs like “meer der ruhe” or “schnee” still bear this signature. But at the same time they show a new quality of songwriting. Both feature the frail singing of a girl who keeps the dusty shadows at bay - enthralling and unknown in industrial/ambient music to date. On “forget your face”, “adrenalin” or “ich verbrenne” Apoptose replaces the reverb charged tracks by songs full of voices and haunting melodies. But beware: all is not as it seems. 

The album will be available on CD, vinyl+CD and download. The CD is housed in a stylish spot varnished six-panel cardboard pack including a twelve-pages booklet and a separate CD-sleeve. The LP+CD version comes in an altered design with copper foil blocking and printed inner sleeve. Don't miss!

Apoptose feat. Daniel Sans
"Maria durch ein Dornwald ging"

More info:
For Winter Solstice 2016, Apoptose returns to the forest - and he is not alone: in the past summer he teamed up with classically trained tenor Daniel Sans in a tiny church near the city of Frankfurt. They recorded a new version of "Maria durch ein Dornwald ging". It is a German traditional song of the Advent season. Translated to English the title means "Mary walked through a forest of thorns".

The mysterious atmosphere of this song fascinated Rüdiger Apoptose since his childhood days. "This is not just another carol", he explains. "I always sensed something special in there. To me the words and the solemn melody evoke images of a goddess who cares for the eternal cycle of growth and decay." If you are familiar with the music of Apoptose you'll recognize this topic from his earlier works.

Daniel Sans studied singing at Frankfurt Conservatoire and performs regularly on stage and in TV productions all over Germany. He recorded works of Bruckner, Haydn, Mozart etc., but he is also into Gregorian chant, Medieval and even electronic music. So he felt at home in this collaboration project from the beginning. "The idea sounded fresh to me. When I listen to the music now I can literally see my voice spreading its wings and flying over a snow-covered forest."
