  "no:carrier...have taken a lot of notes from the industrial-pop-crossover

of Depeche Mode, and insertedsome dancier elements of the genre courtesy

of Soft Cell or Pet Shop Boys...But their influence isn’t limited to the 80s,

because they’ve learned well from the Trip Hop of 90s acts like Portishead.

 

...no:carrier have taken bits and pieces from every single aspect of

electronic music, and created something purely and of their own."
                                                                 
                                                                                                               - The Big Takeover

 

  

As they already have in the past, no:carrier once again carve their own path with their new album “Wisdom & Failure,” showcasing their unique brand of Electro Noire Pop. The album’s foundation is a mixture of Dark Wave and Electro-/Synth-Pop, but from there singer Cynthia Wechselberger and keyboardist/producer Chris Wirsig enter unknown territory, skillfully adding acoustic instruments and elements of other styles – resulting in a sound that is more versatile than ever.

The songs, above all else, deal with the strength that is necessary to go your own way. Songwriter Chris Wirsig says, “It’s about being strong, fighting against adversities. You look back, you learn from the past, and maybe you also despair of it. But you stick to your intentions, do what you want, and you go for it, regardless of what others say, regardless of which opinions you hear, regardless of if you’ll succeed or fail.”

Throughout the twelve songs of “Wisdom & Failure” the protagonists keep looking back, and are haunted by the ghosts of the past. Hurtful and dunning memories of past events (“Last Scene,” “Alone Now”) stand next to strong characters that carve their own path (“Let Me Walk Alone,” “Losing Sight Of The Coast”) amongst tragic stories about failure (“The Nine Days’ Queen,” “Sunset Castle”). But above all else remains wisdom and strength, both of which can arise from failure (“Wisdom And Failure”).

 

Around the release date of the album, no:carrier will tour Chris Wirsig‘s adoptive home California, in combination with an art exhibition by cover designer Cassidy Bliss Cooper. In fall 2014 the band can also be seen live in Europe.
