Death And Vanilla - Death And Vanilla
Rezension
Marleen Nilsson und Anders Hansson a.k.a. Death and Vanilla machen Liebhaberschallplatten für Schallplattenliebhaber, vor allem jene mit Psych-Pop-Faible und vintage sounds.
2012 erschien ihr gleichnamiges Debütalbum, dieses hier. Es strahlt mit raffiniert retro-futuristischen Psych-Pop und zeigt erstmals ihre Leidenschaft für Library Music, Krautrock und radiophone Musik. Jetzt neu aufgelegt auf schwarz/gelbem Splatter-Vinyl.
Review
World crises notwithstanding, they return reborn, re-arranged and revitalised after assimilating dub reggae, the motorik spirals of Can, the modal meander of Philip Glass and The Cure's dreamier pop sounds; plus the twice removed symphonic ambience of Spiritualized and Talking Heads under heavy manners from Brian Eno. By osmosis their period of transition since 2019's much darker 'Are You A Dreamer?' has hatched new eclectic electronica anthems riddled with melody lines, and layered for lush love. - Forming in Malmö, Sweden, Death And Vanilla gravitated towards vintage musical equipment; from vibraphone, organ and mellotron, to tremolo guitar and Moog synthesisers. Soaking up soundtracks from the 60s and 70s, listening to library music, kosmiche, French Ye-ye pop and 60s psych, Marleen Nilsson, Anders Hansson and Magnus Bodin were fashioned by the city's austere industrial past and flat pack present, and all in the shadow of the Orsesund Bridge that links their dreamworld to mainland Europe and a darker reality. Death And Vanilla at once sound like everything is possible; but nothing else at all.
