Julia Toggenburger is an author, musician, DJ, and organizes readings in Winterthur. She primarily writes poetry, but, driven by music, she also increasingly writes spoken word and stage texts. Carlo Rainolter has gained international recognition through his solo project Carlo Onda and has recently been shaking up the local and international wave/synthpop scene as part of the duo Karl Kave & Durian (with Andrin Uetz). Glaring is an experimental, post-punk solo project from Hamburg, Germany. Karl Kave is a minimal synth artist from St. Gallen, Switzerland. “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. |
