Anderes Holz

Description:

This is the second album released in 2010 by a German avant-garde/art-rock band formed in 2004 by Christine Walterscheid (b/vo) and Dominique M. Tager (vo). The band is characterized by the fact that it was formed with the aim of attempting to intervene in the rock band format with the Waldzither, a string-repellent instrument that was born in Germany around 1900, and even today the band is a trio with a variety of instruments including the theremin and pneumatic instruments in addition to the Waldzither, an electric instrument developed independently. The band is still playing a highly omnivorous sound that is hard to believe that they are a trio. The opening track "Sifr" is avant-garde with metallic guitar riffs, crazy vocals, and abstract scenes, but it is followed by "Morgenwelt," which has a catchy melody reminiscent of the psychedelic rock of yesteryear, and "Hammond Hammond's Organ Rock," which is a modern take on the organ rock of the 60s and 70s. The album is a development of rare works that cannot be described in a few words, such as "Copor," in which Hammond organ and fuzz guitar run around as if reviving the organ rock of the 60s/70s in the modern age.As can be seen from the artist's image with clownish make-up, the band has an impulsive experimental spirit of late 70's post-punk, a 21st century interpretation of psychedelic pop/rock, and a trad-tinged atmosphere with a mysterious mysticism, all while maintaining a sense of humor in the background. The sound is unique.
