Blumfeld
Verstarker (Big Cat)
by Joshua Brown
Bouncy German shoegazer pop. When I say German, I mean it. If a contest were held for the most Teutonic band, Blumfeld would be right up there with Kraftwerk. Among the downtrodden pop melodies can be found free-form noise that creates its own coherent patterns, and therefore is not noise for noise’s sake.
