Classifying the sounds of no:carrier and their new Confessions EP is not an easy task. Electro Noir Pop seems to be fitting. Here’s what Chris Wirsig (main songwriter and producer) says:

We have our very own sound that includes elements from several styles – from Dark Wave to Synthpop, from Acoustic to Electro,” says Chris. “We found our own way, we are not going on the trodden paths. We stay true to our ideals and write exactly the songs we want to write.”

Originally founded in 1995 in Germany, no:carrier has been in its current form since 2001 and it is now a long distance collaboration. Chris now lives in San Francisco while singer Cynthia Wechselberger remains in Germany.

Releasing My Own Dreams in 2002 and Between the Chairs in 2011 the group is back with an EP teaser titled Confessions. There is a full length album coming very soon.

These 6 tracks include a wide variety of electronic music styles with a healthy mix of world influences; including Arabic instrumentation as well as drums and percussion elements of various cultures.

Delivering a wide range of topics from introspection to defiance to biographical stories, no:carrier is a unique blend of creative energy reminiscent of Depeche Mode, Portishead, and Wolfsheim.
