After Phil's review of summat else on the label, Plastilina records of Peru also have available Stars in Coma's 'You're Still Frozen in Time. On the front he looks like a young Julian Cope in drag!!! The music is incredibly chipper Euro indie with slightly fey lyrics, a chic, funky chugging guitar taking this man Andre's songs out of the realm of DIY rough into a smoother audience baiting proposition. You can tell he's mainly a one man band and for that he's got to be commended even if some spots do sound like The Magnetic Nik Kershaw Fields. At least the recording technology & production is sparkly new even if there's a bit of an wonky 80's vibe to the album (more of those breezy old keyboards so beloved of todays Scandinavians - hello Tillmanns!!!) . It's another case of being bowled over by the sheer charm & warmth of a man's vision even if it occasionally sets my teeth on edge!!! Great tunes & ideas aplenty all in all!!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
We've been good friends with André for a long time but we didn't have the chance to put him on our label... but at last we are proud that we will co-release with our Swedish friends Music is My Girlfriend this cd that includes all the hits by this one man band. All songs were reworked by André as he wanted them to sound when he wrote them. So niiiiiiice!
