With their latest release, “Reverie,” bunsenburner embarks on a bold new chapter in their ongoing journey of musical exploration. Vinyl Release on January 9, 2026, via bensnburner records, the album delivers a masterful blend of raw creativity, genre-defying soundscapes, and emotional depth. Recorded live over four days at huji maja Studios in Freiburg, Germany, “Reverie” captures the collective synergy of bunsenburner’s five members, whose diverse backgrounds—spanning Black Metal, Jazz, and beyond—fuel their massive sound.
Rooted in themes of letting go—of expectations, fears, and constraints—the album traverses a rich musical landscape. It combines the crushing weight of Sludge, Stoner & Doom Metal with delicate ambient textures, cinematic Spaghetti Western, and bold experimental sound design, creating immersive soundscapes that feel both spontaneous and intricately crafted.
Lucid dreaming inspired their haunting take on Tosca Tango Quartet’s “Ballade Four”, while their cover of Flying Lotus’ “Zodiac Shit” channels the band’s admiration for cutting-edge musical innovation. Originals like “TORO” draw from the spontaneous methods of German painter K.O. Götz, reflecting the group’s embrace of intuition, while “Golden Shower” captures a moment of playful imperfection during the recording process, reminding the band to let go of creative rigidity.
The live recording process brought a raw urgency to the album’s sound, preserving the authenticity of bunsenburner’s collective chemistry while pushing their creative boundaries.
