July 10, dream-popping foot-looker Ulrich Schnauss will release his third LP, the gauzy Goodbye, on Domino Records. Canned in his native Kiel, Germany, Goodbye reflects a period of steely, self-imposed isolation as a kickstart to creativity; kind of like Bowie's Low, or Liars' Drum's Not Dead, or Scorpions' "Wind of Change," or basically every other record ever recorded in Germany.

Before the Goodbye comes the fond hug of the Quicksand Memory EP, due May 22. Quicksand features an edit of Goodbye's "Medusa", a collaboration with Rob McVey of UK act Longview (for which Schnauss plays keys), and a pair of remixes of older Ulrich songs by Cocteau Twin Robin Guthrie.

Catch Schnauss on the ones and twos at London's Roxy Bar April 14.
