"A Lot Of People That I Love Are Gonna Be Left Behind"
(D. Hasselhof)
Coohaven - This trio of Peter Fengler, Hajo Doorn and Lukas
Simonis, operates since 1999. On Brombron they recently
released a cd with Felix Kubin.
For their newest one "Str°mbloque Phantasiδn" they sought
the company of Mariska Simon who sings on several tracks.
Coolhaven remains within wellknown borders of the
songformat, how bizarre their songs may be.
Their songs are prepared by a strange cocktail of laptops,
guitar and voices. Techno-like use of computer laptop. The
vocals sing along melodic lines. Other parts are spoken, or
something in between.
The use of guitar (and ukekelele) and other noises are
sparse but complete their soundconcept. They don,t fear
cliches, or bombastic effects like in the final track.
That's what they want to play with.
As a result their songs are far more accessible then the
ones on Simonis' solo-album.
The whole sounds like a fake opera, and breathes undeniably
a Neue Deutsche Welle atmosphere. Also the opera 'Einfach'
of the belgian Simpletones is an inevitable association.
Nina Hagen (track 9), Falco, a.o. came also to my mind.
As is the case with their collaboration with Felix Kubin,
for appreciating this release, it is essential that you can
share their sense of humor. They are very conscious of what
they are doing, and are probably well aware of the risks .
That's is part of their undertaking, and do it with verve.
BUY!
