Following two years of abstinence, Senking (a.k.a. Jens Massel) returns to raster-noton with a new album, entitled Closing Ice. 

Massel’s experimental work is a lot about organic dynamics and also about a certain atmosphere that often feels like listening to a soundtrack. The nine tracks of the album are intently dedicated to his distinctively bass-heavy and atmospheric compositions. The mid-tempo grooves leave plenty of room for his sawing, war-declaring sounds that are unfolding expressive and gloomy but nevertheless warm soundscapes.

Ahead of the album’s September 25 release, a cinematic trailer can be streamed in full below.
