LIUN + The Science Fiction Band are a genre-defying conglomerate of innovative musicians and artists centered around the vibrant Berlin arts community. Founded and anchored by Swiss vocalist Lucia Cadotsch and German saxophonist, keyboardist and producer Wanja Slavin, the ensemble features a rotating cast of multidisciplinary collaborators who contribute to the band's signature sound, a heavily textured and sophisticated form of modern electronica and lush jazz harmonies.
Does It Make You Love Your Life? Is the third studio album from LIUN + The Science Fiction Band, and is their most bold and pioneering effort to date. A vibrant exploration of sonic landscapes featuring a 13-piece string ensemble and numerous multimedia creatives from a vast assortment of artistic circles, Does It Make You Love Your Life? is a grand and daring effort that takes the listener into joyfully disoriented conceptual spaces where the organic elements of acoustic jazz instrumentation collide head-on with heavily processed experimental electronic sampling and production.
Following the success of Time Rewind and Lily of the Nile, Liun + The Science Fiction Band return in top form with Does it Make You Love Your Life?, a career-defining album five years in the making. By using production elements to create an omniscient, otherworldly perspective woven into the aural tapestry of each composition, Does It Make You Love Your Life? shares a tangential resemblance to some of the all-time great concept albums (Sgt. Pepper’s, Loveless, et. all). This is music that is powerful and riveting and requires our full listening attention to appreciate its beauty and compelling detail. Heartcore Records founder and CEO Kurt Rosenwinkel (who incidentally mastered the record) put it best when he said, simply, “This album is a masterpiece.”
LIUN + The Science Fiction Band’s Does It Make You Love Your Life? will be released by Heartcore Records on May 23rd 2025. The album will be available for purchase and listening through all digital music platforms.
