Aum Taeppers is a Stuttgart-ian duo playing electronic rock music.

After a playful and enigmatic 7“ single on Buried Treasure in March Subexotic Records are delighted to release their debut long-player 'Oumbra'.

Armed with analogue synthesizers, electric guitars, live electronics and drums Daniel Vujanic and Niko Lazarakopoulos create swirling and shapeshifting instrumental soundscapes as well as concise songs incorporating healthy doses of singularity and repetition. As the album progresses, the duo effortlessly fuse moody wanderlust, futuristic shapes and an intuitive approach to form and function.

'Oumbra' simultaneously flirts with krautrock, electronica and minimal music tropes, moving from impenetrable electronic thickets into restless rhythms of euphoria and back again, fluctuating between psychedelic noise, leftfield popular music and a beloved midnight movie ambience.
