Imaginary War

Big pop songs and haunting sounds, the battle between light and darkness, courage and depression, digital and analogue: Germanys IMAGINARY WAR craft music which resonates with its melancholic melodies and quiet anger in a constant but entrancing battle of sound.

Frontman Joki Schaller realizes his musical philosophy in IMAGINARY WAR, preferring seclusion to permanent presence both physically and sonically. Whilst detached from urban life, Joki Schaller and his band create soundscapes that still reflect the industrial coldness that they left behind with analogue sound spheres and disturbing lines about their past and current existence. The sentiment of productive isolation is the lifeblood and driving force of IMAGINARY WAR.

The band uses synthesizers as their sonic basis, heart and origin of sounds but IMAGINARY WAR combine pop sensibilities with their more stark, disturbing compositions. They unite big musical gestures with the love for the perfectly arranged sound detail, intertwining intricate layering with bold electronic melody.

Marked with a notable pensiveness, IMAGINARY WAR are aware of what it means to live in a society divided into two camps us and them and question: which side do you fall into? You know who you are. The band has made peace with their demons by asking them to dance, and invite you to do the same by joining them at their side. Read more on Last.fm.
