the band LAUSCH

Lausch unite elements of classical 90s rock, post rock and progressive to an unconventional and catchy alternative sound. Their previous work, which comprises five studio albums and a live EP, allows comparison with the spheric instrumental works of Long Distance Calling as well as the anthemic rock sound of Biffy Clyro. Edgy riffs and heavy hooks alternate with melodic fragility, intensity is followed by reduction, complexity and eagerness to experiment harmonize with straightforwardness. The stunning voice of frontman Alexander Lausch blends in with the band’s thrilling verses and emotive choruses like a missing puzzle piece. Especially live, the trio proves that it “brilliantly masters the advanced non-mainstream rock sound” (Michael Ternai, mica).

“We challenge our listeners because we want to be challenged too. Our music is not for those who are looking for easy entertainment or copies, it is for those who seek new experiences and want to grow on what we create.”

Schrill, fast hysterisch melodiös kreischen die Gitarren. Im Keller sägt der Bass am Fundament des wuchtigen Klangkörpers. Am Schlagzeug sitzt ein Berserker. Der Gesang kriecht als Elegie in geschundene Seelen. Mit teils dunklen Klangfarben zeichnen Lausch ein bombastisches Gemälde durchwirkt von dystopischer Atmosphäre, in dem aber auch lauschige Verstecke der Zuversicht zu finden sind. Der Soundteppich ist dicht gewoben. Emotionale Amplituden in Moll, markante Hooks und hymnische Gefilde gilt es dort zu entdecken. (The Gap)
