Contrails

'Contrails' has seen many band constellations over the past couple of years since its inception and first live shows in 2012. The band revolving around Stefan Sieder started out as a six-piece with violins, guitars, and live drums. The band toured several european countries and performed at festivals around their hometown, Vienna. Currently, the band's sound can be described as dream pop, shoegaze, or chillwave. Since 2017, the live band consists of five members. 'Contrails' have released two albums, 'All That Glows' (released 2012 on Pumpkin Records) and 'Mania' (released 2014 on Cloud Contact Records). Though prominently featured, Stefan Sieder’s vocals are not the sole contributor in terms of conveying messages. Contrails’ moving harmonies and melodies speak for themselves. Despite their obvious musical confidence, Contrails maintain an ability to transport its listener to a place of relaxed and unforced contemplation. It is elegant, thought provoking, and disturbingly impressive dream pop that passes on conventional themes, yet makes its way into the minds of music lovers of all persuasions without letting go.
