Brunnen and Diamantener Oberhof on Vrystaete
Expected somewhere in February are two new releases on Vrystaete: Brunnen and Diamantener Oberhof
Brunnen is one of those best kept secrets from Holland... he writes light psychedelic folkpop tunes... sounding a bit like a lo-fi Legendary Pink Dots... and in a way he is truly a modern day acid troubadour telling small stories accompanied by minimal instrumentation...
Diamantener Oberhof is a German duo which consists of the musicians behind Baldruin and Brannten Schnüre/Agnes Beil... subtle electronic sounds are mixed with snippets of accordion melodies... it sounds very pure and authentic... like obscure lo-fi field recordings... this is a sort of new primitivism and a fantastic mix of ambient, folk and Dada-pop...
