"Infinite Greyscale Records is pleased to announce a new 10" record by renowned German artist and musician Markus Oehlen. Wanne 4 is composed of a variety of percussive sounds with a focus on digital guitars. An homage to the sound of The Feelies early recordings, the track slowly works its way through a basic guitar riff of three chords accompanied by steel-drums and a steady bass drum beat giving it an air of a summer breeze until the guitar sounds gain more distortion. Occasionally broken up by disruptive by drum fills possibly performed by a stoned robot the song slowly morphs into a guitar-strumming finale with a clarinet solo of sorts. Wanne 4 is a beautiful piece of woozy instrumental techno, a surf-dub summer tune for people who prefer Palma to Ibiza and Jessy Lanza to Katy Perry. Besides having worked as a painter exhibiting internationally for almost 40 years, Markus Oehlen is known as one of the pioneers of German punk music (as the original drummer of Dusseldorf Punks Charley's Girls and Mittagspause) as well as being a previous member of The Red Krayola. Oehlen continued to release electronic music under the moniker Don Hobby and as Van Oehlen (with brother Albert). Single sided 10" and pressed to mint-green vinyl with screen-printed B-side. Numbered edition of 300. Comes with a download code including two bonus tracks. Handmade artwork by Paul McDevitt and Cornelius Quabeck. Screenprint by Ulrich Schmidt-Novak. Includes numbered insert, photograph, and download code."
