Karl Kave & Durian - Wiener Linien

“Wiener Linien” is the fourth studio album by the restless Swiss wave duo Karl Kave & Durian.

Musically close to the style of Neue Neue Deutsche Welle with elements of post-punk and darkwave, the lyrics tie in with personal experiences of arriving in the Danube metropolis of Vienna. They explore a field of tension between privilege and loneliness, between hope and resignation. KKD remain true to the principles of a certain ambiguity and openness for contradictions, but are not afraid to admit to doubts and existential fears. They hence achieve a balance between gentleness and bite, between punchline and poetry.

The Serfs - Paid In Full / Regen

The Serfs are a deliberately nebulous and incidentally industrialist gang of dance-floor hymners – perturbed and tranced-out troubadours whose sound and musical ideology seems to be a causal manifestation of their immediate environments. Like their Ohio predecessors, The Serfs seem askew from the art that surrounds them, and proud of it.
