at the annual listing of the best records that the year has so produced, have I, at least in recent years can see a trend in my personal favorites: in addition to a consensus favorite plate, on which some can all play, is always a good shot on the front seats, which went down in verglichsweise Hipsterkreisen. Last year it was with Gustav "Leave the city," may this year, Kristin Erickson aka Kevin Blechdom can celebrate - for their latest album "Gentlemania" and a concert grand ...
known fact, for experimental electronic sounds - first as one half of electro duo Blectum from Blechdom and later released two solo albums - wanted Kevin Blechdom now make a record, "which even her mother, her can play to friends without having to feel embarrassed "(Spex Nr.320 May / June 09).
Nevertheless, an unusual, even eccentric album is the outcome, the biggest difference to earlier works, especially in the choice of instruments, to electronic sound experiments was waived in favor of classical instrumentation with lots of piano. What has remained is metal dome penchant for melodramatic pop that was also on their electronic boards are already present and to "Gentlemania 'very clearly expressed. Songs like "Lazy," "Face the music" or "Turn Around" to name a few, have enormous potential and very catchy melodies moving.
metal dome penchant for theatricality, which constitutes a major attraction of the album allows the plate shine live primarily a work of art, as in April in the Leipzig scale where Kevin Blechdom with an illustrious group of versatile MitmusikerInnen under Mrs . Pepsteins Radio-anniversary gala in their musical stage play "Slobbersville" performed and inspire so that even people who would otherwise likely have little left over for musicals and rock operas, understand. With a conventional musical performance was in any case only in common the fact that telling the dramatic structure of the set a more complex history, as well as various dance routines that are always entertaining, but never came embarrassing. In addition, lively instruments were replaced (all parties seemed each to master at least two) and the leading roles made the rounds: so did each of the band members the opportunity to sing a song to shine as a protagonist, even though Kevin Blechdom undoubtedly as a band leader of the Star of evening was. One of the concerts of the year, which brought the writer of these lines to the realization that if even musical, then your so beautiful!
