Lali Puna
Faking The Books

A Norman Records recommendation (8th December 2006)

What their label says...

A band made up of members from projects as central to the guitar-pop scene as The Notwist, Tied and Tickled Trio, Console and more. Valerie Trebeljahr, who started Lali Puna on her own in the late nineties, a duo with Markus Acher (The Notwist, Tied & Tickled Trio) and also to a live band together with Christoph Brandner (Tied & Tickled Trio) and Christian Hei�. The band have already provoked glowing responses from the highest-profile listeners - adored by Radiohead, championed by Andrew Weatherhall, re-arranged by Bomb The Bass, backed by Radioactive Man, remixed by Two Lone Swordsmen.
"Faking The Books", Lali Puna's third album, is a maverick display of pop sensibilities. All the ingredients are there : The killer hooks, the subliminal fusion of generic undertones, Valerie Trebeljahr's alluring vocal delivery that soothes the senses. The amplifiers turned up, the instruments plugged in, the voice placed higher up in the mix and the storytelling edged closer to our confused, lawless, modern version of the world. The songs direct themselves with a pop conviction that isn't afraid to mix vintage synths, vocal effects, garage drum workouts, detroit strums, carefully arranged strings, electronic bass drums and a homage to all the bands that have paved the way for such diversity.
