“There is probably nothing more intimate than revealing your inner self in a musical form shaped by light and darkness. In times where you get to know your fears but remember, they do not have you, so you are still choosing and daring the path through the unknown.”
With »Reminiscence«, Eisenwald proudly presents the first full-length album by Bavarian female-fronted dark rock entity Ellereve.
“Never too tired to flutter through the tides of life” are the whispering words of Elisa Giulia Teschner’s first song »Gossamer Wings«, accentuated by ambient soundscapes and a deep roaring bass describing the personal journey through her debut album »Reminiscence«.

“Writing music is a process which sometimes feels like being reborn to me. It is the magic of overcoming and growing. It is like diving into the sea of feelings, ravished, naked, and cleansed of the brutality and hardness of life, transforming these feelings into art. That’s why I also wanted to portray the visual aspect of the album in a pure and raw form only covered with the elements of nature as a constant reminder of letting go.” says Elisa.
Not only the water’s stream nor the heavy stones surrounding Elisa on her album’s cover are hitting powerfully, but also her songs’ instrumentals develop like that. The music of Ellereve has been recorded with the precious aid of her live band, which actively complements the organic and multi-faceted songwriting of the artist. By mashing electronic elements, folk influences, post-rock vibes, and varied dynamics to raise intensity and tension – the Bavarian singer-songwriter unveils her heart-treading melancholy and introverted nature. A curious sound researcher, Ellereve floats between captivating, magical soundscapes made of reverbs and distortions.
Elisa taught herself how to produce music in 2019 to maintain artistic freedom and be more independent in songwriting. The final production was done with her good friend and producer Salomon Appiah (7Apes), with whom she already worked on her debut EP »Heart Murmurs«.
The visual side of the album was captured by the experienced hands of Konstantin Alexandroff and Laura Patricia. The album will be released as a limited CD edition (incl. 4 Bonustracks), various vinyl editions, and on all digital channels.
