“Mortal Prophets” unveils “Meine Liebe,” a mesmerizing journey born from a serendipitous discovery in a Munich record store. Frontman John Beckmann stumbled upon a mysterious acetate record in 2018, emanating haunting strains of German opera intertwined with echoes of European electronica and new-wave allure. Enchanted by its enigmatic beauty, Beckmann traced its origins to 1977, yet the creators remained elusive despite his quest for answers among German Electronica historians.
Driven by the record’s captivating mystery, Beckmann partnered with New York City producer David Sisko to resurrect and reimagine “Meine Liebe.” The result is an audacious EP that defies musical boundaries and embarks on a bold experimental odyssey. Opening with an Original Found recording, but really kicking into full swing on “Cologne 77,” the EP floods listeners with a dynamic blend of pulsating beats and operatic vocals, creating a harmonious yet strikingly contrasting fusion.
“Mortal Prophets” masterfully blends the past with the present, infusing each track of “Meine Liebe” with a modern vibrancy while honoring its mysterious roots. The EP stands as a testament to artistic innovation and the enduring allure of musical exploration, inviting listeners to embark on a captivating sonic adventure unlike any other.
