It’s been nearly three months since we announced Grandbrothers’ comeback. The duo’s upcoming album is set for release on September 26th, via their label _and others_. Following up from ‘We Collide’ – a single we described as “expanding the group’s sonic formula, adding a sprinkling of IDM-esque energy and a hypnotising, feathery beat” – the talented pair have recently unveiled ‘Where Else’, an intense, poignant piece that’s partly cinematic and partly electronic cut.
It’s all about getting away from their usual neo-classical tag for Grandbrothers. Stepping into hypnotic and ethereal dance music territories, German/Turkish pianist Erol Sarp and Swiss engineer/software designer Lukas Vogel depict an aural experience that’s pure escapism and pure euphoria combined. It’s also a favourite at Grandbrothers’ live shows.
As Sarp explains, “This one really came out of our live shows. Over time, the vibe shifted – we moved from seated venues into standing crowds, and that brought a different kind of intensity. Where Else was our response to that shift.”
