Excerpt: “Germany’s noir veterans Sankt Otten have built a considerable following in continental Europe during the past 7 years with their dark trip-hop aesthetic… brooding cinematic grooves, setting a murky, uneasy atmosphere akin to Teutonic male-voiced Portishead… Musically, Sankt Otten’s mix of menacing string and horn samples, minimal yet melodic guitars and downtempo beats has resonated in the now-defunct US doom-hoppers Vincent & Mr Green’s moody recordings, as well as casting an obvious influence on Never, Never Land-era U.N.K.L.E. To be played in near-total darkness with a glass of red.”
