Two years after Quantum Porn (Slowing Records, 2017) the German trio The Somnambulist is back with a new full-length, Hypermnesiac that will hit the shelves next year. To present a little bit of the smell of the new Hypermnesiac, The Somnambulist is premiering its first single, “Doubleflower”, through a new music video, released by the band itself, that you can watch first-hand down below.

In “Doubleflower” – a song developed by contracting and dilating the ideas, instead of opposing them within clear and definite changes – The Somnambulist offers us a piece of alternative rock through a sonority that is both fluid and vulnerable until we reach its end. It’s definitely on the final moments that The Somnambulist creates an emerging insight that they have outputted previously with Quantum Porn, joining those crazy atmospheres of jazz fusion and improvisation elements that makes our hears extremely enthusiastic.

The video for “Doubleflower” was recorded in Berlin at BIT-Tonstudio with the help of photographer Arne Fleischmann and his assistant Falko Schmidt and pretty much describes how the band acts on the studio.
