What Are You Listening To Lately (Part 1)

Well, 8 and 11 brought me back to the distant auditory pleasures distributed by Steve Stoll at the dawn of time. :yum:

Has anyone here heard of Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle?
They are fascinating.

During the Eighties, they basically did stuff like this:

(Wonky covers of 50’s and 60’s schmaltz)

(Yeah, a few early “Volksmusik” elements here … this won’t be the last time.)

In the Nineties, their music morphed into a more terse and less frilly version of itself:


(What if a marching band wanted to play a Velvet Underground/Nico cover of Neu!'s “Hallogallo”)


(Weird Bavarian Polka/Waltz mash-up about incest and trains)

And then, in the mid-Noughties - “Yeah, let’s cosplay as a jazz band doing a stint at a posh hotel in the Swiss Alps in 1973, and let’s ask Anthony Shakir along so it all sounds vaguely Detroit-ish.”


(F…cking brilliant album, by the way.)

(Even better, in my opinion. A more refined version of all of their earlier stuff.)

I love this band.

Talking about Hanna Rani, the last album is a balm for both mind and heart.
