After years of extensive touring, Schnellertollermeier return with a new double LP: "Shadow Web" marks the opening of a new chapter in the band's 20-year history. After the unmediated directness of their recent releases, this ambiguity and permeability comes as a surprise: the new album radiates clarity, in every fiber, in every circular motion – and yet leaves much open. On "Shadow Web", the here and now circulates, expanding in pulsing waves.

With this, Schnellertollermeier counter the brutality, coldness, and forced unambiguity of our world's current state with a sonic fabric of radiant warmth and improvisational playfulness. "Shadow Web" does not proclaim any answers; it allows for ambiguities, opens up new spaces of possibility, and makes time for immersion. It winds its way deeper and deeper – generating a thermal upward energy across the arc of the four long-form tracks.

With their genre-defying body of work and their highly precise, powerful, and transcendental live shows, the Swiss trio has earned a firm place on international festival stages: from the FIMAV Festival for Contemporary Music in Victoriaville, to the famous avant-garde club SuperDeluxe in Tokyo, to the Haldern Pop Festival in Germany – from Europe to South America, in China, Japan, Canada, the USA or in India – always in search of the greatest possible intensity.

Even in 2026, the three musicians aren't concerned with managing their egos, optimizing the marketability of their output, or the general well-being of their listeners, but rather with the abolition of hierarchies: the traditional power relations between drums, bass, and guitar are consistently being dismantled. What remains constant is their surrendering to a shared organism, where the silhouettes of individual sonic identities dissolve.
