Storyteller Asp took his time with the first album from his story-folk project HERUMOR. The songwriter shows another side of himself – not only musically, but also by the fact that this project is not as dark and rooted in the world of gothic novels as his other band. HERUMOR moves between the twilight, dusk and the impressionistic patchworks of eternal forests and mysterious otherworlds. On this album, it is less the com-plicated interlaced story cycles that set the tone. Rather, with each single song, the listener receives a perfect short story in the fantasy style. The listener can enjoy tales of elves, trolls, nymphs, mysterious skeletal figures patrolling through the woods and all manner of mythical creatures. But ‘Eine Liebe nicht weniger tief’ (‘A Love No Less Deep’) also has plenty of space for sizzling erotic romanticism and tragic love stories. Emotional and mysterious but never overstepping the kitsch threshold. CD in 6-panel digipak. Two (!) 20 pages booklets, incl. complete lyrics.
Released Late November 2020 by Trisol.
