Berlin’s own Steffen Linck, a multi-instrumentalist known as Monolink, announces his debut album Amniotic, out now via Sweat It Out. This announcement follows the release of his newest single ‘Swallow’, an ethereal requiem acting as a window into the honest world created within Amniotic. ‘Sirens’ charted at #4 on iTunes Electronic Germany, has reached over 1.2 million streams and was lended triumphant remix duties from techno phenom Patrice Baumel and Melbourne’s Silversix.
It is the experiential nature of Monolink’s music that defies the muddy definition of modern live electronic music. Armed with a singular blend of Berlin underground culture with the pop-leaning sensibility of American electronica, Steffen transports listeners into his own realm of sonic exploration. The music is pillared by emotive guitar tones, analog synth stabs – acting as a singular point of departure for this budding talent.
In Monolink’s own words: “EPs are popular with most producers and DJs in the electronic music scene. But I come from a band background and albums are unmatchable for me. I’m a huge fan of listening to large bodies of work from start to finish and taking a plunge into the world the artist has created. Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” is an example of an album that still fascinates me to this day.”
“Generally I wanted “Amniotic” to have a tremendous tangible connection to life and nature, especially the lyrics. When you play gigs all over the world, your life takes place at airports, in cars or hotel rooms. I have noticed more and more often how I enjoy getting away from society, out of the cities and into nature; and that’s very much reflected in this album.”
Amniotic stands as Monolink’s first complete body of work, following his 2017 EP Burning Sun via Sol Selectas, and ‘The End’, a collaborative record with Acid Pauli in 2015.
Monolink debuted the first single ‘Sirens’, off the forthcoming LP, at Australia’s Strawberry Fields Festival 2017, where Linck performed to a packed out crowd and later released an official recap video.
Amniotic is out now via Sweat It Out.
