LBT - Make In (June 2021 Yellowbird Records)

MAKE KIN deals with the search for community and overcoming individualism. Those who have experienced this band live know that the magic of LBT lies in the overwhelming energy that Betzl, Hirning and Wolfgruber collectively release with their intense and familiar interplay.

The four new tracks are more consequent and focused than Maximilian Hirning’s earlier techno compositions, yet the band still gives free reign to their passion for improvisation and playfulness with sound: self-designed and self-built instruments expand the exclusively analog sound production. The music has an undertow while simultaneously leaving space; it’s secretive yet familiar. It invites one to go with its resonance. As the feeling for time wanes more and more while listening, one immerses into a feeling of ongoing presence – a condition in which the ego truly seems to play no role.
