incl s express - beat dis - people hold on ! 80s cult ! the alternative sound of a decade on double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

love will remember pharaon de winter, it says at the very end of this record. pharaon de winter was a relatively unsuccessful painter from northern france. today its the name of a band, but also the name of the song that changed its authors life. the ex-leader of the bands toy fight and (please) dont blame mexico - the eps first aid and michel foucault, and the album concorde, in 2011, with the hit song the protocol - maxime chamouxs musical style could be placed somewhere between north-american rock, spoon, neutral milk hotel, and prefab spout and xtcs sophisticated brit-pop.

was wäre die welt ohne singende pop-pianisten? man denke nur an billy joel. oder an stevie wonder. ja, und was wäre die welt ohne jazz?! man denke etwa an lady day oder john coltrane. oder die nächste steuererklärung. na, und was wäre die popmusik ohne krokodile?! man denke an prince. oder an donald fagen. na, und was wäre dieser text ohne albrecht schrader, den wundervollen pop-pianisten aus der hansestadt hamburg, der aber schon seit einigen jahren in der domstadt köln wohnt. leben in der großstadt, so der titel seiner kommenden ep spannt mühelos den bogen von steely dan über prefab sprout bis erobique und palmingers „songs for joy-. die stimme sitzt, die finger fließen und die seele tanzt. das oben drauf auch noch große pop-poesie geschrieben steht, kann man nur noch als absoluten glücksfall deuten: -das problem am kalenderspruch ist der kalender und nicht der spruch-, singt schrader in „pathos im alltag-. bevor man sich in diesem text in solchen sprüchen verirrt, bloß um die luxuriöse Ästhetik dieser musik zubeschrieben, bleibt am ende nur die dringende empfehlung diesen künstler doch einmal aus zu checken, wie man szene-deutsch zu sagen pflegt. up + coming dieser typ! keine frage...

”love will remember pharaon de winter” is said at the end of the record. pharaon de winter was a painter from north of france, who lived from the end of the xixth century to the beginning of the xxth century. today, pharaon de winter is reappearing again. it’s a band, but also the name of a song, which changed everything for his author. past leader of both bands toy fight and (please), maxime chamoux was playing since now a genre between north american rock of spoon and neutral milk hotel, and sophisticated british pop from prefab sprout or xtc. we find today in this new project songs navigating between french, for most part, and english. partners and friends since a long time, thomas pirot at the drums and raphael ankierman at the bass are playing alongside fx guéant-mata at the guitar. we also find mina tindle and her delicate voice appearing here and there. at last we don’t forget the goldsmith’s talent of canadian musician sandro perri who’s joining the band, highly recommended by pitchfork magazine with his album impossible spaces in 2011.

das sollen still flyin sein? das soll diese band sein, die damals auf ihrem debüt die indie-welt mit einem charmant-kruden mix aus pavement, rocksteady und new romantic verwirrte? das klingt ja wie scritti politti! oder prefab sprout. oder frühe tears for fears... und der bass? der klingt wie new order! wow! seit der ersten zoot woman, nein, dem les rhythmes digitales-album >darkdancer< haben wir kein album mehr gehört, das dermaßen 80er-retro und jetzt! zur gleichen zeit ist.
