Making a soul stirring music is only possible with new, shiny and perfectly tuned up instruments. Wrong! So wrong! Vlimmer's back! And he's not alone, this time he has a help of Oceaneer (pianist Oneechan Nanashi)'s hands and her broken piano for which being out of tune is a natural state. And there's Vlimmer himself with his funeral, rustling voice that sounds as if Nietzsche read Poe's works and grabbed a rusty microphone. Can you imagine anything more climatic? Or even... melodic? Try listening to "Pianist" without humming.
Album's title is, if I can trust my linguistic intuition, a sort of word play as German Mehrheit means "the biggest part" while Meer is "sea". Does it mean that the biggest part of our reality and life feels as if it took place underwater? (Press release says that this music sounds like "music from the bottom of the ocean, played by a ghost in a sunken pirate ship" - agreed, although I'm not sure how many pirates were German speaking in the course of history). Or perhaps that the majority of our time is spent doing nothing, feeling nothing, not being touch by anything and the real life passes away somewhere over the waves? ("stillness" is the word used in the press release mentioned) Or maybe just that the majority of our planet is covered by seas? Perhaps not. And we won't know it, I can say just by looking at Vlimmer's mask.

"Meerheit" i available for pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp but it's strongly advisable to support the modern Goethe.
