TEENAGERS IN TOKYO - SACRIFICE
After the debut album of the Teens in Tokyo in May in the UK came on the market, it is now also in German widths via Backyard, ADA and Rough Trade. Do these actually label name for itself, here are a few scraps to be placed in any case with the emerging band name: NME, Joy Division, 80's, The Gossip.
In summer 2008, the quintet was the first Hear from time to time with the release of their EP selbstbetitulierten. Much has happened since: the four ladies and drummer Rudy Udovich now play sold-out concerts in renowned clubs like London's Koko, the accolade given by the music press by being in the NME featured and were allowed by fellow musicians The Horrors remix the song Peter Pan. It followed by performances in the opening act of declared fans of The Gossip and the Slits.
reason for the fast climbing the ladder of success, not least is the incredibly original sound, the Teenagers in Tokyo - not only on their most recent publication - produce. Edged, precise and very beat-heavy drumming, and a dull, driving bass are the backbone to the form, the Teenagers in Tokyo. All around they spin 80s Sythies and a resigned, yet beautiful vocals of Samantha Lim Gitarrenpickung lost again in the spherical distance and too rarely used two voices can be a one or two cold chill down your spine. Although the basic mood of the record is rather dark and depressing, Sacrifice has a punk flavor, which is apparently left over from the days without a record deal and big tour and this band really nice and absolutely worth listening to does.
FREDDY ROTTEN - EVEN IF WE SLEEP
Sometimes it is simply time for a change. It must also have thought Freddy Rotten, whose biography because I just happened to me, it is clear that some things have turned around 180 degrees with him. Listening to
Even If We Sleep, it strains credibility to heavy that the Lord's singing to his acoustic guitar and just rumzupft, usually in the Noise Doom band Zatokrev mistreated his guitar and yells into the microphone. But as if this were not enough of transformative change: the Swiss announces his apartment and his job and moves for several months through Switzerland, Germany and neighboring European countries deal with the greats of acoustic music, the sharing stage. Dark cellar and head-banging fans will be exchanged for halls full of chairs and denounces instead of a band whose logo in runic script on the stage, it is now with neo-hippies like Efterklang on stage.
What suspiciously sounds like a midlife crisis and listened to the first publication of the Basel at more like a necessity. With such authenticity and ardor he transported his sounds, which are paired with a frail, resigned voice. Only sparsely be on the horizon other instruments, otherwise it remains with guitar and voice, but actually quite well enough. A successful change and its own characteristic debut. Only the long hair that remained - but that's okay!
