Fascinated by the beauty of nature, the aesthetics of city darkness, the Bavarian Forest at night and the great emotions of people interactions, a cinematic music construct is built. A mélange of the joy of Joy Division, the poems of Patti Smith, the bleakness of Black Metal and the guitar sounds of 80s and 90s pop/punk influences the danceable dynamic sound of desire and reality.
From Germany, Risk Risk was founded in 2009. The idea was to do synthpop the old school way. The title is linked to the name of the band, alien ovni in reverse, and in addition Alienation is a concept in which the musicians consider to be right dwelling on nowadays. Thinking about the dark times in which we live, among pandemies, wars and standardization of the self, our identities and authenticity are strained, so the alienation is a spiritual condition that has to be analyzed. The need of a renewed contact with our deepest self is pressing and deserves attention, because the state of Alienation in which we are is exhausting, it threatens to become the normality. We must keep an eye on the introspection, the expressive need is the only way that we have to withstand this state of things. Here’s the latest compilation of Young And Cold Records featuring 18 contemporary artists. |
