They play loud rock music using sonic textures and song structures predominantly found in ambient/ post-rock. In 2013, they released their 3rd album, „I See Your Shadow“ via their own label Cloud Contact. “On I See Your Shadow, Lehnen has truly made their blend of Post-Rock, Ambient, and Pop into a wall of sound resulting in relentlessly driving songs. With the additional use of distorted and estranged field recordings, an atmosphere is created from which its listener can hardly escape, leading him on a jaw-dropping journey into the void, only to arrive back at a fantastic conclusion.” – The Gap “It’s incredible what kind of wonderful music can be found outside of the mainstream (although I wish Lehnen all of the success in the world!!). The band (which reminds me a bit of Godspeed You! Black Emperor) draws its influences from Postcore, Ambient and Electronic music, but no boundaries are set in place! A perfect album, and yet one never has the impression it was thoroughly planned out (although it certainly was). THAT is how honestly and especially directly this music speaks to its listener.” – XXL Rock “I See Your Shadow is so well thought out and precisely executed that letting oneself fall into its soundscapes is a pure pleasure. Planning in music is usually something considered to be rather negative and often referred to as the enemy of creativity and a symbol for the longing of commerical success. Precision is still an often misunderstood label. In Lehnen’s case, precision and hard work have allowed for them to get closer to their initial dream.” – Music Austria [ I SEE YOUR SHADOW ]. „It was time for a change; a change unlike the ones we’d experienced before. We decided to write the SONG, not the album, do whatever it takes to make it the best song possible even if it meant passing on the temptation to rely on things like electronic beats, and let that wall of sound breath from time to time, sometimes even leaving vocals out. “I See Your Shadow” was conceived using a new mindset: Do the best you can, have fun with it, and stop looking to the future for change. Change is everywhere you choose to see it. Using this mindset and 1,5 years of stage absence, 10 songs finally found a way to live in harmony. Sonically, “I See Your Shadow” is closer to our initial dream than anything we’ve released in the past. Upon first looking at the song titles and scanning through the lyrics, one may be tempted to believe this album is about death. It isn’t. Death is a prominent character that reappears when necessary, driving the REAL point home : “Life won’t wait. If you have love in your life, embrace it and never let go.”; a message made even more personal to the members of our band by the passing of several loved ones in our family and the families involved in the creation of the record. But while they moved on, we feel like we’ve been given the chance to start anew.“ All songs written, performed and produced by Lehnen. All Lyrics by Joel Boyd.
