KRAUTWERK - 1971 (2014)

in #music5 years ago


According to the band’s Bandcamp page, 1971 is dedicated to an album that came out in 1971, which is understandable when you listen to it.

The songs are very repetitive in the rhythm department, with spacey leads that weave in and out.

It sounds like there is good drumming on the record, but it’s apparently a drumcomputer according to the band’s Bandcamp page. The drumcomputer at times is pretty busy and energetic with lots of fills.

By the time the third song, III, comes around, the feel and tone are slower and darker but still repetitive. There’s a drone in the background and a slow, sad drum beat. At points, there’s a lead that sounds almost middle eastern. It ends even more droney and with a backward sample sound featured pretty prominently.

The fourth song, IV, features a familiar simple floor tom and snare Krautrock beat and leads that sound almost like violins and stringed instruments. It eventually breaks down into a more ambient drone section with no beat and lulls you for a while before waking up and gaining speed and bringing the beat back in a little faster to finish out the song.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to just go track by track and describe the songs. That would get boring. I think I’ve given you a pretty good picture now, though. Don't let the cover art or band name scare you away. It's pretty good stuff!
