Kristall Reinheit

DIE KATAPULT ist ein Spanisch-Schwedisches Duo, das seine Musik als "Mediterranean Kraut-Pop" bezeichnet. A quick listen to the debut Mini-LP by DIE KATAPULT quickly places this duo in the outskirts of Berlin. The war-like quality of their sound and the roughness would make us think so, but if we pay just a little more attention, there are melodies that don't fit in so easily with that profile, and there are small sparks of a sonic, acidic, dirty sense of humor that promises that there is something more going on here. If we look at the credits on this this 10", 500-print limited-edition, white vinyl, we understand the secret of this new New Adventures In Pop release. DIE KATAPULT is a Spanish-Swedish duo based in the Sants neighborhood of Barcelona, formed by Anna Fredriksson (vocals, vocoder, and keyboards, and also of LOS GANGLIOS) and Elena Comas (voice and bass, and also of NELEONARD). And we've had to coin a new term to define their music: Mediterranean kraut-pop. But let's take this one step at a time, or better said, one song at a time. "Braun" is the color of humbleness, of opening, of KRAFTWERK playing in the background, and why not, of OVIFORMIA SCI making their presence felt in the attitude. "Schweinsteiger" could jump right onto a STEREO TOTAL album; the lyrics are full of references to Bayern Münich's midfielder. This vinyl includes a free digital MP3 download [320 kbps]
