Poly Unique Session #3 - MMTH

MMTH from Aurich in East Frisia came out of nowhere in 2017 with their debut album 'Paternoster'. The quartet from the North Sea got off to a fast start; Demo of the Month in Visions magazine, 10 Best New Acts in the Arctic Drones online voting, placements on scene samplers. This was followed by shows in Germany and the Netherlands with Rosetta, Public Service Broadcasting, Hemelbestormer, Coastlands and Spoiwo, as well as a tour with their colleagues from The Clouds Will Clear. MMTH's sound is drier than classic post-rock; there is more emphasis on the groove, with guitar riffs standing on their own here and there. Atmosphere is created more through contrasts. The members themselves describe the whole thing simply as instrumental rock. Influences from Mogwai, Long Distance Calling and This Will Destroy You can be recognized. MMTH pushes the contrasts in their music even further apart. Nevertheless, dreamy melodies and crunchy riffs meet at eye level and form a common thread. Their new album 'Infinite Heights' sounds like a conclusion and a new start at the same time.

A new musical event awaits Neustrelitz and the surrounding area from the end of the year: the "Poly Unique Sessions", a new concert series organized and hosted by the small Neustrelitz record label of the same name, "Poly Unique". The man behind the label is Erik Swiatloch, who may already be known to some as an employee of the Kulturquartier. As the organizer of the annual electro concert in the castle church as well as putting together the programme for the Strelitzienfest in the Kulturquartier courtyard, he has proven that he has a knack for extraordinary musical experiences. With this series of events, he has a clear goal in mind: to bring bands and artists to Neustrelitz that you wouldn't necessarily expect to find in our town.
