Second Office (2x12")

Description

We are Excited to announce - The Department of Almost with our first full-length LP - Second Office. The Album will be released via WSNWG on October 9th. „Developed over extended Berlin studio sessions in January 2026, the record brings together two artists whose respective platforms, STOOR and WSNWG, have long embraced artistic exchange and open creative practice. Moving between crafty dancefloor material and more reflective and exploratory compositions, the album develops a shared sonic language that extends beyond their two unmistakable, longestablished artistic voices. Across eleven compositions, deliberate dancefloor material is elegantly intertwined with calm and spacious soundscapes. A propulsive current gives way to passages of suspension and introspection. While rhythm and atmosphere gradually fold into one another, the record favours gradual transformation over dramatic gesture. The album's quieter moments open up a more contemplative space, extending its emotional register without departing from its forward motion. Beneath, a subtle and understated sense of distance evokes spacious environments and glacial landscapes – topographies in cold light.“ We have setup a preorder with the first Single - Fingerprints - on Bandcamp. A limited special edition will be released via WSNWG Bandcamp on September 4th - 12.00pm CET. All Tracks Written, Produced & Performed by Speedy J & Rødhåd in January 2026 at WSNWG Studio in Berlin.
