"hasenlove" is the debut musical release of hamburg visual
artist antonia leukers. she's a founding member of "institut
hasenbart", a 10-piece artist collective dedicated to a
meta-scientific research of hares and related social,
zoological and aesthetical phenomena in reference to the art
world and pop culture. leukers has previously created
stitched, sewed and animated sculptures while casually growing
cucumbers, working for a local in-vitro fertilization hospital
and advising young people on erotic issues as a german dr.
ruth for a popular online magazine. inspired by a journey to
island, hearing local travel guides spontaneously interweaving
their narrations with sudden outbursts of folklore chanting
and an encounter with wolfgang mⁿller's (die t÷dliche doris)
strategy of transforming and combining his
(pseudo-)scientific, documentary and social research into a
musical and artistic performance she started to elaborate her
fellow artist's lectures with musical renditions.
as a passionate diy home-recording artist she has soldered her
own microphones, used cheap toy instruments, gameboys and
minidisc recordings of kitchen sounds to create her very own
bricolage comic universe. by recycling corny aor mainstream
rock/pop songs into some oddly disturbing and wonderfully
weird rabbit love songs with newly-made german lyrics and
combining these with some truly strange original compositions
(ranging from freeform collage to distorted techno to deranged
singer/songwriter stuff), she has created a musical love story
in 7 parts. spiritually influenced by (though not really
sounding alike) german "neue deutsche welle" artists such as
der plan and theatrical and surreal performance bands like the
residents.
her versions of popular love songs sound like a teenage/female
andrew lloyd webber on bad acid. this 1-sided vinyl-only
picture-disc lp is a strictly limited edtion of 300 copies.
both the gorgeous design and ornamental etching on the b-side
have been done by fellow hasenbart founding member renate
nikolaus.
