Conny Ochs Posts Trailer for Future Fables; Album out in Feb.

Though of course he’ll be known to readers as the Conny Ochs half of the Wino & Conny Ochs troubadour duo, the German singer-songwriter now has two solo offerings under his belt, each one emotionally resonant to and beyond the point of catharsis. His third outing is titled Future Fables — the cover art is below — and is set to release Feb. 26 via Exile on Mainstream Records. If the trailer that follows the PR wire announcement is anything to judge from, the melancholy continues unabated.

Art, info, links and video follow, arranged thusly:

CONNY OCHS Completes Third Solo LP, Future Fables, For February Release Through Exile On Mainstream; Trailer Issued

Melancholic German singer/songwriter CONNY OCHS has completed his third full-length album, Future Fables, now confirmed for release this February via Exile On Mainstream records, the label this week unveiling a brief glimpse into the album through an exclusive trailer.

Earlier in 2015, having released Freedom Conspiracy (Exile On Mainstream) with fellow Scott “Wino” Weinrich (St. Vitus, The Obsessed, Shrinebuilder) and completed some touring across Europe, CONNY OCHS returned to the studio at the end of the Summer, once again with producer/engineer/studio owner Thommy Krawallo, with whom his previous album, Black Happy and both collaborative albums with Wino were created in full analog fashion. The Kabumm Studio had just relocated from its historic location in a former East German and Soviet government radio complex in Berlin, to the wilderness of a rural Brandenburg village. OCHS went in with a bag full of sketches and licks, inhaling the raw atmosphere of the surroundings, a yet unfinished house full of instruments and equipment in the middle of nowhere, also trying to find its place. This unstable environment birthed a new start for him, letting in much more than a breeze of fresh air by widening his instrumental repertoire to drums, electric guitars, piano, bass and organ. The lyrics and stories circulate more than ever around people encountered and journeys undertaken over the past years – the album title referring to our tendency to give an unwritten future some kind of tangibility through dreams and visions.

“We find and leave traces for the future. The lives that cross our paths and the lives we lead just as much as the dreams and visions we share – growing to be from what this future will be inspired and made of. This is the journey these songs are about.”

Future Fables will see release through Exile On Mainstream on February 26th, 2016. Stand by for additional audio samples, preorder links and more album specifics in the weeks ahead.
