Electronic music and art artist Anne Wichmann went one a bit of a hiatus from her multimedia She\u2019s Excited! project in 2023 to focus on her stripped-down rock project with brother Volker. Initially a combination of rock and darkwave electronica, SuperWAV took a new direction to loud, analog brass tacks rock with the second offering from the siblings, aTypical, <\/em>released in October of 2023. Unable to stay away, Anne\u2019s back to riding that dark wave with her new She\u2019s Excited! offering, Moments of Sonder. <\/em><\/p>\n

Released just under four months after SuperWAV\u2019s aTypical, Moments of Sonder<\/em> picks up where the last She\u2019s Excited! album, Shock Therapy<\/em>, left off. Also a hard-target concept album, the emotions and philosophies contained within Moments of Sonder <\/em>are softer and more esoteric than those expressed in its predecessor. The music, whilst still darkwave at its core, expresses that softness and connectedness of the human experience as well. Where Shock Therapy <\/em>lived up to its name with dissonant tones, gravely vocals and experimental workmanship, Moments of Sonder <\/em>also channels its name with melodic tones that instill a sense of wonder. The concept of this concept is <\/em>sonder itself, according to Wichmann.<\/p>\n

\u2018Moments Of Sonder\u00b4 is a concept album around the phenomenon of \u201csonder<\/a>,\u201d an instant realization that every person has a life as complex and complicated as your own. I invite the listeners to walk through New York City (or any city of their dreams) with me: We will look up the high rises and wonder what lives unfold behind the millions of windows. We will walk down to the subway and go on a ride with Mellon Collie. We will meet amazing people and hear wonderful and sometimes difficult stories, we will briefly listen in while passing by and then move on. I hope that everyone will find their own moment of sonder in the music.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Given the title and the concept of the album, it makes sense that on Moments of Sonder, <\/em>almost every track is a collab. With the emotive opener, \u201cCelebrity Parade\u201d a concept within a concept as Wichmann introduces the perspectives of all the other artists via her own perspective. All these other complex worlds, in fact, exist within Wichmann\u2019s own \u201cmoment of sonder.\u201d It\u2019s almost a visceral experience, standing inside the mirror ball of Wichmann\u2019s own perspective, looking here and there to see each track with each artists telling their own story. They\u2019re vignettes into the complex worlds of others, but still not the full story.<\/p>\n
