PHOENIX / Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix "

Attention, concept! A little fear is who is the new album by the French band Phoenix for hands.

Phoenix

By Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix "has a title, the worst is feared. The fact that the band for months by the world gondelte to make it yourself, is also not exactly reassuring. Some parts were built in New York, where you are in a hotel on the Bowery einmietete, others in Paris, where the neighborhood in the studio of a painter of the 19th Century has been opened.

This kind of buying classically inspired ambient bands in search of creative crisis. A state of the Phoenix three albums long spared. Also: abnormal long. All evidence that a Phoenix-album's not exceptionally good.

And then? All fears nothing. "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix 'is another perfect album of the quartet from Versailles: Laurent Brancowitz, Thomas Mars, Christian Mazzalai and Deck D'Arcy. "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" is the music of young men who, if they want to impress a woman, even to the piano can set.

Who else would come up with the idea of a piece like "1901" to write the Paris ebenjenes year reminds us, a city in the world still nachglüht exhibition, the "futuristic moment" of the French capital, as Thomas says Mars? Or "Lisztomania," a song about the composer, pianist and father-Wagner-Franz Liszt?

The band has not lost its lightness, from art to have a springy groove melodies, which are never intrusive, but then cut into the brain and refuse partout, then disappear again. In the film "Marie Antoinette" by Sofia Coppola - she is the girlfriend of Thomas Mars - the four of Phoenix appearing as Baroque court music.

The band makes music that this spirit of joy and wasted breathes. And without that there is still a need aristocracy.

FLEUR EARTH EXPERIMNET / "Soul of the Cabot"

CD-Cover "Soul of the Cabot"

Unnoticed by a wider audience in Cologne werkelt years since a group of Soul fans to their music around. This includes the singer
Fleur Earth. She is 29, grew up first in the GDR, then for several years in Congo, as a teenager she returned to Germany.

Fleur Earth with her band has now submitted an amazing album: "Soul of the Cabot." Their music is rooted in rap, which you notice the nature of how the lyrics go, how their lines again and again next to the clock running to catch it then, that she always lyrical with Stop & Go flirts.

That sounds pretty cool - and very unique. R & B is so often confused with the beautiful surface. Fleur Earth knows that it comes to depth. An unconditionally original draft of the German Soul Street.
