One of the records I enjoyed most from last year was the 7″ by the group Sonnenbrandt. This single was a collaboration release of Hertz-Schrittmacher and NLW in limited qualities on orange vinyl with a bathing hat and beach sand. The sound of the band is very much neo Neue Deutsche Welle. On this cd all four tracks from the single appear in a re-mastered form with one extra track.
These five tracks are extremely catchy popmusic with a strong 80’s feeling. All tracks are equally wonderful and will make you smile for sure. ‘Urlaubsgruss mit Sonnenbrand(t)’, ‘Lüdenscheid’ and the extra track ‘Radio’ are also potential clubhits.
For me this was one of the discoveries for 2004. But I am sure both the cd and 7″ be played in my home stereo very often in 2005 as well. This is perfect and brilliant pop music!
