White Wine announce new record Killer Brilliance and get noisy on abrasive title cut

Joe Haege (31Knots, Menomena) leads the project, formerly known as Vin Blanc, which boasts an expanded lineup for this chapter. Originally White Wine was just Haege, but after LP2 In Every Way But One, Fritz Brückner came aboard; Chistian "Kirmes" Kuhr (of Zentral Heizung Des Todes) now rounds out the trio.

"We're all killers in some way or another," Haege says of the single and album. "Some kill hope. Some kill honesty. Some kill fear. Some kill greed. Some kill out of greed. All kill, in some ways, for our sheer survival. However, the underlying fact is that so many ways of killing are simply amazing in their complexity. When you really dig into the details, one can see how there is no escaping a little bit of blood on everybody's hands."

"There's so much complexity in life and human emotion that I have a hard time feeling convinced a song is always either happy, sad, melancholic, angry or scared," he continues. "I look at these emotions like elements that are constantly colliding with each other, so it's my duty as a songwriter to reflect that. I want to fall in and out of the cracks of genres, finding the nerves not yet hit. It's usually in the disturbing part of the spectrum…"

Killer Brilliance was recorded at the Haunted Haus, White Wine's own studio.
