Hauschka
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 by Kyleclassical // experimental
Let me go where you take me - childhood’s hour of bewildering delight. A pause only for concerns lasting moments already forgotten; where radiant lights and sounds shimmer all haphazard perfections into play. Harmonious adventures in remarkable surroundings, subsisted by slight glitter, and twitter, from flitter placed upon piano strings; lifting you like a carousel’s jubilee. Volker Bertelmann’s forthcoming album, Ferndorf {Distant Village}, begins with improvised unlockings of the wonderful journey that ensues. At times a piano may tiptoe your way along hidden paths, as violins portray swaying leaves, and barely visible electronic trees branch into recognition. His memories shared; unraveled beside nourishing cellos in a summer’s warm, gala dream.
Recalling youth with esoteric, aural pleasure.

Certain labels came to mind as I browsed 
The 
Kreidler has one of those sounds that teeters on the edge of being irritatingly experimental, but is pulled back by some solid acoustic instrumentation and a good sense of beat and build. Their debut, Weekend showcases an odd mix of chirps and clicks, along with some more conventional driving bass and lightly rocky drums. Some of it’s a bit Four Tet-ish, but it’s a little meaner with its melodies than the English artist, and the overall effect is something slightly darker.
