Electric Mud
Electric Mud are Hagen Bretschneider (idea, sound concept, bass) and Lennart Hüper (rhythm guitar) from Hannover, Germany. Since 2011, the band has been exploring the boundaries of rock music. They started with Blues Rock which began their exploration through various different stages and finally developed a style they call Post-Progressive Rock. They create music the way they see it. Hagen and Lennart write only instrumental rock music. The ideas for the tracks are from Electric Mud mastermind Hagen Bretschneider. Producer and multi-instrumentalist Nico Walser contributes many arrangements and ideas to compliment Hagen's vision.
Both artists immerse themselves in their musical universe in which they are creatively free to express different experiences, both as sentient and sensual, which make up the human conditions. They like to compose their tracks by using everything that makes sounds for their recordings. So you can find violin bow guitars as well as recordings of bees, baking sheets, cooking pots and many other unusual sounds. They have concentrated on their own material, producing their first album "Dead Cat on a Railroad Track" in 2013. This work was a production using only guitars, bass and drum machine. Following their success they decided to develop their music together resulting in "Lunatic Asylum" released in 2015. Hagen and Lennart were joined by Nico Walser, who produced Lunatic Asylum as well as playing lead guitar and synthesizers. This collaboration blossomed further on their third album "Wrong Planet" featuring producer and guest musician Nico Walser again. The compositions on the first album were largely rooted in blues rock, however on Wrong Planet their music can sound like Sabbath or Zeppelin from the 70s but they combine these licks with dynamic patches from the drum machine of the 80s.
