german record critics’ award nominee david minor briefly leaves his beloved post-cinematic musical cosmos for this ep ‘farce’. he examines his very own folky background and underlines this
singer-songwriter pasture with delicate ambient and cacophonous spheres, creating an almost closer and stronger personal presence compared to his predecessor album’s ‘sparse’ and ‘lush’.

the rough and audible guitar chords create stripped bare-naked, repetitive basic song structures allowing the artist to play around with and break common expectation. according to nietsche’s most famous quote ‘in every real man a child is hidden that wants to play’ we find a mature, although boyish amusement in creative composition. have a closer listen to the release and you will know what we are talking about … three beautiful and pure emotional visions come to your ears, illuminating your soul.

enjoy the melody !!!

feedback

really interesting little release, uncompromising but at the same time slightly more accesible than past output. ‚the cancer song‘ is particularly catchily titled!. nice one…

i do love this ep !!!
pedro figueiredo portela, o dominio dos deuses, portugal 12/11

das ist wirklich wunderschöne musik !!! wusste grad nicht ob mir die tränen kommen weil’s mich so berührt, oder ob ich grad in tränen der trauer ausbreche ob der feststellung, dass menschen einfach loslassen und so wunderbar gefühlvolles produzieren können, dass ich mir wie ein wesen aus stein vorkomme… auf jeden fall wunderbar!
