Most interesting and promising contemporary german band I know of these days. Coming from Munich they write another chapter of the City´s history of music coming from an intellectual background. The lyrics contain few words that are chosen perfectly to create a feeling of anger and resistance. The singer uses her unique voice opposite to most other female singers these days. No seduction, no hip depression, no artificial insecurity - just angry fire. Like contemporary bands (see Culk) ... read more
On the surface a gifted singer fronting a band that bathes in 90´s darkwave cliches adding not one original tone to the genre.

Once I got acquainted to the lead-singers pitch and her sometimes shaky softness on the high notes the whole music comes as natural as great pop does. The rythmic structure is complex but nothing sounds like a show-off or as if they counted the rhythm whilst playing (as math rock often does for ... read more

human, born in the booming years of the last century, playing music and listening to music for half a century. I listen to anything that touches me, still curious... I usually hate music as a tapestry satisfying my need to hear sounds that keep me safe due to cliches I already heard before.
Most of my ratings will be very good as I mostly rate things that I feel the need to get supported due to their quality. I mostly will skip my dislikes as long as I´m not confronted by them on a daily basis
