"Know" by Jungstötter

Jungstötter (the nom de musique of German singer-songwriter Fabian Altstötter) is now on my radar. Frontman of the band Sizarr, he released his second solo album called "One Star," on April 28th, 2023. The bold experimental sound is arresting and the visuals have a near-Matthew Barney feeling.


Sunrise sun is out, late against me
I’ve known my contours on this body

Stoke a chill down lines of heat I’ve known
Bordering your body

I’ve known
A bloated figment crushing mine
I’ve known
Until your hands touched my body

I’ve known
But who am I to dislodge dreams
I’ve known
Right away

What are all these skies?
Brass and copper plates
But a dress mid-flight
(Stroke)
Across your face

Pour your lines out
Land against me
I’ll know the orders of your body

I’ll know
All of the seasons of your face
I’ll know
The scriptures of your body

What are all these skies?
Brass and copper plates
But a dress mid-flight
(Stroke)
Across your face

As the wheels take flight
Heavens rearrange
You inside their lights
Haven’t changed
