tobias. – Tobias Freund – will release a new album on Ostgut Ton on July 4.

Entitled Leaning Over Backwards, a reference to the lyrics of Wire’s ‘Single K.O.’, it was made by the NSI man chiefly using a Roland TR 808 and Korg Mini Pops, and without computer sequencing. It includes vocal contributions from Hercules & Love Affair‘s Aerea Negrot and a collaboration with Uwe Schmidt AKA Atom™.
