The brand new EP !

Ultranoire a German/Hungarian duo are growing in popularity in the Hungarian and foreign dark underground scene. Are due to release their long awaited second album Intronaut in January 2017 following success with their debut album Disclosure. Ultranoire approaches vintage synthpop from its darker side (somewhere in between, Kraftwerk and early Depeche Mode) combining sensual baritone vocals with some gloomy, cold mid tempo electronic sounds. The new album Intronaut is an ambitious mid tempo synthesis with a little deeper tone than their previous one. The lyrics are characterised by easily opening metaphores and pictures. Josef Stapel the bands singer/songwritrer calls these songs as a journey into the private cosmos. A dying internal entropic universe of an “Intronaut” being a person suffering from anxious depression caused by personal life crisis’. The sound was consciously designed to invoke the synth wave mood of the 80s and 90s. Intronaut contains 9 songs and 2 instrumental tracks. It will be available from January 2017 as a CD format and digital download released by ScentAir Records.

After the first and second EPs, the German-Hungarian synthpop duo Ultranoire (lead singer Josef Stapel, Szilard Kun keyboards and programming) announces their debut album ‘Disclosure’ which include six songs from Ultranoire’s first and second EPs, an instrumental interlude and another four brand new tracks which never have been aired or released before. Each song is produced by Ultranoire and mastered by the well-known Hungarian sound engineer Tamas ’Silk’ Sellyei at Hit Space Budapest. If you ever thought that in the traditional sense synthpop is dead, then here is the evidence that this musical genre is alive, kicking and can produce demanding songs. Ultranoire’s debut album ‘Disclosure’ is a deeply emotional high level mid tempo synthesis. Songwriter and lead singer Josef Stapel says ‘all lyrics are pure personal ingenuous disclosures of longing, suffering and everyday human frustrations. I needed a place where I can fall into melancholy, where I can write songs. I chose Hungary where we were both born. Our hometown is the perfect place for that’. Ultranoire songs are created consciously. All songs are built up on contrasts of sensitive baritone vocals and cold inorganic monotonous electronic sounds.
