Fenster - Emocean

Review by oktaa tjhin licious

Fenster’s Emocean: A Psychedelic Rollercoaster That Punches You in the Gut Let’s cut to the chase—Emocean by Fenster isn’t your run-of-the-mill indie pop record. Nope. This thing slaps harder than a drunk bouncer at 3 AM. Released back in 2015, it’s got this raw, unfiltered vibe that makes you feel like you’re eavesdropping on some secret jam session in a Berlin basement. And trust me, once you dive into it, there’s no turning back. First off, let’s talk about “Samson’s Theme.” Holy crap, where do I even start? The track kicks in with this wonky bass clarinet riff from Jaime McGill (yeah, they bring out the big guns for this one) and just spirals into this hypnotic groove. It’s not polished or shiny—it’s gritty as hell, like sandpaper scraping against your soul. But somehow, it works. Like, really works. Every time I hear those opening notes, my brain goes, "Oh sht, here we go again," and suddenly I’m transported to another dimension. Fenster doesn’t care if you’re ready; they’re dragging you along whether you like it or not. Then there’s “Lettuce Sea,” which is just… what the actual fck? In the best way possible. It’s dreamy but jagged, like walking barefoot through a field of thorns while staring at clouds. The vocals are all over the place—kinda haunting, kinda playful—but damn, they stick with you. You can tell these guys weren’t trying to fit into any box when they wrote this. They were too busy making something weird, wild, and unforgettable. By the end of the song, I’m always left wondering: Did I just trip without taking anything? Or is this just how genius feels? The whole album has this chaotic charm to it. Tracks bleed into each other like spilled paint on a canvas, creating something messy yet beautiful. Sure, there are moments where it feels like things could fall apart entirely—and maybe they do—but that’s part of the magic. Mixed by E.T. and Fred BRAIN Monestier, mastered by Francesco Donadello, and brought to life by the mad geniuses in Fenster themselves, Emocean sounds like controlled chaos wrapped up in a psychedelic haze. And don’t get me started on the artwork by Julia Guther. It’s trippy as fck, matching the vibe of the music perfectly. Like, whoever said art and sound couldn’t be married clearly hasn’t seen this combo. Here’s the kicker though: Listening to Emocean feels less like hearing an album and more like surviving a fever dream. One minute you’re vibing, the next you’re questioning reality itself. Is it perfect? Hell no. Does it need to be? Absolutely not. Because deep down, beneath all its quirks and flaws, Emocean reminds us why music exists—to shake us up, to make us think, to leave us breathless. So yeah, props to Fenster for crafting something so bizarrely brilliant. Now excuse me while I go listen to “Off the Cahin” three times in a row and pretend I know what’s going on. Spoiler alert: I don’t. And honestly? That’s probably the point.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that the album *Emocean* by Fenster is like a musical kaleidoscope? It blends genres like Indie Pop, Psychedelic Rock, and Alternative Singer/Songwriter into one wild ride. Released in 2015 in Germany, it features unique touches like bass clarinet on some tracks and flute on others. Fun fact: there’s a track called *Off the Cahin*—yes, spelled weirdly—and it shows up twice, but somehow still feels fresh both times. The artwork was done by Julia Guther, adding to its quirky charm. It’s the kind of album that feels experimental yet personal, all at once.
