DBN René's solo band project. When you ask the band about their musical influences they drop names like »Gang Of Four«, »The Clash«, »My Bloody Valentine«, »Wire«, »The Cure« and »Bauhaus«. That..s understandable when you listen to the unpolished, rough-cut arrangements. The music is like a rough sketch or a scrap- book of ideas, raw and unbeatable in it's simple, uncomplicated charm. The excitement does not lie so much in the detail of the music and yet such innovatively arranged tracks have not been heard in quite some time.
Jumpel released his Debut Album "Samuel Jason lies on the beach" in August 2007 at Hidden Shoal Recordings . "The album serves as a testament to the power of careful distillation and minimalism, exuding an emotional complexity that belies its seemingly simple surface". Also availabe at
