‘High Wall’ unlocks the door to Driftmoon’s Sōnnux Music – the new recordings home that Juraj Klička, and Miikka Leinonen have built themselves.
Following the duo’s reunification in ‘23, when Miikka rejoined as a fulltime member, the pair have been on the march, not least with December’s extraordinary concept album, ‘Moonstruck’. Now, with Sōnnux, the pair add another new, and every-bit-as-vital element to the band’s ID.
Talking about the motivations behind Sōnnux’s creation and launch, Juraj and Miikka commented: “With this label, we want to create a space where creativity comes first and foremost. A place for music with a depth of character and a sense of sonic adventure — exactly the qualities we feel, have defined Driftmoon up unto this point.”
Lyrically, ‘High Wall’ is a rich, theatrical chronicle for our times, alternating leitmotifs of division and human connection, while using its titular “high wall” as a metaphor for the fortifications we try to build around ourselves and the ones closest to us.
Around its towering song, Juraj and Miikka pack a production powder-keg of curling 303, pulsating sub-melodies, masterful symphonies, orchestral majesty, gated synth elevation, and vast cinematic sweeps, all combining to give its operatic vocal and choral chants the grand scale they command.
Sōnnux Music begins its quest from today. Find ‘High Wall’ wherever the finest music is streamed and sold.
