STEREOVERVE - Science of Signs: Premier Alternative Rock from Austria!

STEREOVERVE - Science of Signs 
Music can be easy but nevertheless direct, innovative and tangible at once, creative and charming in one breath. Four young gentlemen from Vienna, Austria, understood the signs of the times: STEREOVERVE convinces with taste and style, with no room left over for affected behaviour and pseudo intellectual attitude. Playing Rock on an above average level, they attract Alternative devotees as well as interested, open-minded music fans. Or, to put it simply: Lovers of good songs. "We are not bad guys, not chavy rockers and not cliché Indie poppers," says singer/guitarist Robert Klembas, "but creative, persistent musicians, aiming for the target audience 20+. 'Twenrock', if you like."

With their new album Science Of Signs, STEREOVERVE tread a meaningful path, already apparent when looking at the cover: The Rorschach test - an early psychological method to examine a person's personality - as a basic idea and leitmotif. It marks the perfect visualization for the next step of a band whose members come from a scientific background as far as their studies and jobs are concerned but nevertheless do not write flamboyant and complicated music. In fact, Science Of Signs rather sounds like a simpatico hybrid of Incubus, Foo Fighters and Editors, accompanied by parallels to Kings Of Leon and Dredg. This is especially obvious in the remarkable melodies flowing through the album and serving a wide range of emotions, no matter if straightforward ("Staring Eyes"), romantic ("Satellites"), striking ("Break Even"), cool and groovy ("Off The Track"), Shoegazer-like ("Brickwalling") or seducing ("Tango"). "It was very important to us to play all songs live in the studio to make them sound as authentic as possible," Robert explains. "In addition, we're extremely proud of the fact that Science Of Signs has been 100% self-financed! There's no label, no sponsorship, no funding." Impressive if you think of the exquisite quality of both composition and production. "And we've only just begun, and it's just a little taste of what may come," Klembas sings in the opener "The Shape Of Things To Come." A promise raising high expectations.

 STEREOVERVE formed in Vienna in the summer of 2003. Focused and determined work earned the band its success, first within the Austrian music scene, and soon followed by an excellent reputation as a dynamic live act. After winning several prestigious prizes like the Austrian Newcomer Award for their EP Stereoverve in 2004, the group released its full length debut Valério in 2005. The album stresses the band's love for sophisticated songwriting, atmospheric sound effects and great hooks, which has taken STEREOVERVE's skills and expression to the next level. During the days of Valério, STEREOVERVE enjoyed a melancholic flair between cheap cigarettes and expensive red wine, while the new album Science Of Signs - having been shaped and recorded in Berlin - developed a more solid and edgy side: ‘Twenrock’, if you like.
