Fourteen Twentysix aus den Niederlanden ist mit Lighttown Closure ein großartiges Album gelungen, das gekonnt dunkle Einflüsse wie Anathema, Pink Floyd, NIN und Chroma Key mit einer Portion Mut zu popigeren Passagen verbindet.
Zwischen akustischen Gitarren, starken Bassläufen und groovigem Drumming schwirrt Chris van der Lindens unvergessliche Stimme umher, taucht dabei gelegentlich in ambienten und elektronischen Teilen unter, nur um kurz darauf mit voller Melancholie zurückzuschlagen.
Großes Kino! Anspieltipp: Descending & Lashes.

With Lighttown Closure Fourteen Twentysix from the Netherlands created an outstanding album, which mixes the band's darker influences like Anathema, Pink Floyd, NIN and Chroma Key skillfully with a dose of courage to implement poppy parts.
Between acoustic guitars, strong basslines and groovy drumming Chris van der Linden's unforgettable voice hovers around, consequently submerging in ambient parts and their electronic feel, just to fight back with total melancholy shortly afterwards.
A grand album! Key tracks: Descending & lashes.

Quote: "„Somniaferum“ is the 21 years old Alexander Hagen from Bochum, Germany. Grown up in the small town Heiligenhaus (close to Düsseldorf), he encountered music very early. Firstly educated in different instruments on music school (e.g. flute), he learned to play guitar, bass and drums by himself. He was guitarist of the Alternative Rock band „Last Joker“. Since winter 2007, Alexander released a few ambient recordings under the name of „Somniaferum“. In early 2010 he began to work on new songs"
