āMost Perfect Solitudeā is the sixth studio album from The Third Sound, due out May 17th on Fuzz Club. The follow-up to 2022' 'First Light' LP marks a new chapter, in terms of both sound and personnel, for the Berlin psych/post-punk band led by Icelandic musician and author Hakon Adalsteinsson. āAfter touring āFirst Lightā heavily and releasing our Fuzz Club Session LP last year ā a career-spanning, retrospective document ā this album feels like starting with a clean slateā, Haken says. Written and recorded in under two weeks, during a rare gap in his non-stop touring schedule as guitarist in The Brian Jonestown Massacre and new project Golden Hours at that time, āMost Perfect Solitudeā introduces a new Third Sound line-up: Hakon and long-time member Robin Hughes (Organ/Guitar) now joined by Frankie Broek (drums) and Wim Janssens (bass).
As well as the line-up changes, Hakon reflects, āThere is a certain warmth to some of the songs that has not been there before, but they still flicker between light and shadows, kind of like a slow motion audio version of Brion Gysinās Dreamachine.ā On the one hand, jangly ā60s 12-strings and breezy melodies shine on tracks like āAnother Time, Another Placeā and āOn Returningā, undoubtedly The Third Sound at their most radiant. Yet the record is not without its darker, heavier moments either ā see the scuzzy psych-rock drone āVeiledā or soon-to-be live favourite āWastelandā, which sets a nightmarish vision of a city in ruins to the tune of heavy fuzz-guitar repetition and hypnotic drums.
The albumās title is a phrase lifted from Mary Shelleyās Frankenstein and found by way of Werner Herzogās journal writings in āOf Walking In Iceā, documenting the film-makers walk from Munich to Paris, which Hakon was reading whilst on the road himself: āMany of the songs touched on the theme of trips or some sort of travel, so I knew immediately that it was going to be the title. When you are travelling or touring you can find yourself in a weird sort of isolation, whilst also often looking for solitude to get away from everything. And, sometimes, it is best to listen to music in that most perfect solitude.ā
