About Me

Formed in November 2004, this twosome decided to start their musical endeavour (after a rather unsuccessful quest for a rhythm section) using programmed grooves, sequencer- and pre-recorded basses. At first a rather uncommon setup for this kind of music, but consequently creating space for the unexpected. The musical agenda was very clear from the beginning: melodic vocals embedded in guitar driven fuzz tones as well as unusual chord voicings, that should both surprise and capture the designated listener's ear - trying something new without ignoring the past. Both musicians look back on a vast amount of musical experiences, live as well as in the studio, and as a natural result know exactly where they want to go with this - to compromise is not an option! Pop, noise, electronic?...call it as you may. Phonokill simply call it: a celebration of the song.For further information please contact: [email protected]
