QLOWSKI (UK)
Quale Futuro? LP
First, the future was denied. Then a different one was fought for. Then realist capitalism settled among us and absorbed and neutralized any hint of rebellion until it flattened reality and returned us to a path that is, in fact, a dark tunnel to nothingness. Nihil. The London band QLOWSKI wonders what future or futures can be envisaged under the current circumstances. And they do it with an impeccably well-constructed work, full of urgent, edgy, tense songs that use the tools of post-punk and new wave to create little treatises on the things that matter: the everyday vignette that glimpses a potent poetic image, frustration and weariness transmuted into dreams that invade real life, noise as a knife to tear the veil of suffocating reality, creating cracks for desire, possibility and hope to seep through. It is truly beautiful. Referentially, you can detect the early OMD melodic spirit, the cubist punk edge of SWELL MAPS, the majestic simplicity of New Zealand punk, the dark romanticism of after punk. The references are just that, references that serve to orient you in the hanging garden of QLOWSKI, a garden full of pleasures oscillating between melancholy and the golden light of twee, whatever that may mean to you. Two good songs to enter this world are “Larry’s Hair Everywhere,” with that wonderful noise freakout in the middle, and the track that closes the album, a Lynch-esque tour de force, “In a Cab to Work ft Les Miserable.”

KNUD VOSS (DE)
KNUD VOSS aus dem wunderschönen Bargenstedt, welches in der Nähe von Tensbüttel-Röst, Odderade, Wacken und Hanerau-Hademarschen liegt, präsentieren. Glücklicherweise hat sich niemand aus der Band das Motto Albersdorfer Zeltfete auf die Fahnen geschrieben und überrascht stattdessen mit einer ziemlich eingängigen Form von leicht indie-angehauchtem Postpunk mit Orgelsound. Maritime Metaphern werdet ihr hier nicht finden, stattdessen eher das triste norddeutsche Gefühl, welches sich im Land zwischen Meeren von November bis April einstellt, gepaart mit einer klaren, unplakativen Ansage gegen rechte Idioten in Schimmeldecke. Und dieser geile Synthie. Großartig!
