Ignis (2026) by Schröttersburg

 

Schröttersburg is a project from Płock, Poland which I have been observing since the very beginning. Raging melancholy embedded in new wave post punk stylistics that have been their major shape on the first album took a bit more experimental and wider in terms of genres, turn that this album is a major embellishment. 

Imagine post industrial blend of new wave and post punk influences with psychedelic dub together in one cauldron. But add quite catastrophic expressive vocals and minimalistic lyrics. 

They are erudite musicians who have been working on their own style that is distinct. If you add a bit more of that Płock characteristics - a city that has been always in the shade of petroleum refinery - its whole life has been built around it - you have localised form of art that is both unique and cannot be forged in any other way.

An excellent album from mature musicians.
