Am Rande

“Growing At The Edges”, diesen Titel trägt das neue Album der wunderbaren Kammerpop-Formation Mutual Benefit. Die weniger beachteten Ränder der Musikwelt, dort halten wir uns in dieser kleinen Sendereihe ja regelmäßig, sogar dauerhaft auf. In der heutigen Ausgabe etwa als Beobachtende der märchenhaften Klangsphären von Tele Novella, oder auch im Lob der bisher kaum beleuchteten Retromeister Video Age. Ein Hoch auf die Peripherie!

Am Rande war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 01.11.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 02.11. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 04.11. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Reiche Ernte

Der Herbst ist da und mit ihm füllen sich die Scheunen und Kontore – warum zu just dieser Jahreszeit auch jeweils die meisten Musikveröffentlichungen anstehen und ob es da einen Zusammenhang mit der Ernte auf den Feldern gibt, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis. Überhaupt hinkt der Vergleich ein wenig, denn wo wir doch jedes Korn, jeden Kürbis und jede Rebe ehren sollen, wird für die Golden Glades-Playlist GNADENLOS ausgesiebt.

Mit auf die deliziös funkelnde Anrichte der laufenden Woche haben es geschafft: das spanische Damen-Quartett Melenas, die britischen Slacker Wicketkeeper sowie fabelhafte Geschichten aus Berlin von den Newcomern Braake.

Reiche Ernte war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 18.10.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 19.10. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 21.10. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Warme Farben

Die Schatten werden wieder länger und der Abend bricht früher herein, doch die kräftigen, gelblich-roten Töne der Natur strahlen noch Wärme aus. Die Klangfarben der heutigen Playlist sind entsprechend gewählt – Musik für den Indian Summer, wenn man so möchte. Mit dabei: Lewsberg, Harumi und Essential Forever.

The Reeperbahn Fest strikes again

The Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg has grown up fast and just celebrated its 18th anniversary at the end of September. Around 49.000 attendees took over my old neighborhood St. Pauli in search for networking events and to celebrate fresh talents. Once again, the festival presented an ambitious program and tried to explore important topics like sustainability and diversity, AI and parenthood in music. And yes, it’s true: navigating the sheer number of events and showcases can be a little overwhelming. But there’s never anything wrong with just going with the flow.

During the four days and nights of the festival, I mingled with international colleagues and had many interesting talks to old and new friends. And of course, I saw all sorts of showcases. Here’s a handy round-up of the best of them:

Zaho de Sagazan @ Nochtspeicher

The first pleasant surprise was the French shooting star Zaho de Sagazan. Her music is a hybrid of soulful nouvelle chanson and dark electronic pop. As I already heard her debut album „La symphonie des Éclairs“, I was curious to see how the young artist would translate this on stage. It was simple, but effective: while in the back two guys each enthusiastically turned the knobs of cabinet-like modular synthesizers, the 23-year-old artist swept across the plain stage in normal everyday clothes. Her announcements in English were absolutely charming and within no time the club was fidgeting and sweating. A great performance by Zaho de Sagazan, even for people like me who don’t particularly like dirty techno beats.

Noth @ Hamburg Haus / Grüner Jäger

Clever and witty German lyrics, a foot-tapping rhythm and jazzy arrangements is the package I received from Noth playing a tiny place upstairs of Grüner Jäger. The stage was way too small for the six-piece ensemble, well equipped with saxophones and flute. There’s something special about this band, not only because of the great musicianship. Although Linus Kleinlosen and Luis Schwamm are from different cities, they collaborate on all songs and lyrics. They filled the room with a wide musical range, rooted in jazz, avant pop and in crisp indie rock – and every nuance sounded great. I would like to see Noth get a bit more recognition (at least in the German-speaking world) abecause they have already released two fabulous records. Well, my old colleague Carol v. Rautenkranz of L’Age D’Or fame stood next to me during the whole live set. And I can tell you: he was sceptical at first, but quite impressed in the end. No doubt, Carol still knows what is good.

The Bug Club @ Molotow Backyard

It was a huge disappointment that the Canadian songwriter Julie Doiron had to cancel her shows on the Reeperbahn Festival due to personal matters. But her slot was taken over by a fabulous three-piece from Wales: The Bug Club play catchy songs with so much verve and fun that it’s hard not to fall for their infectious harmonies from the start. Two-minute pop hits like „Little Coy Space Boy“ set the bar, new songs from the upcoming double LP were also included in the setlist, all in the not too busy backyard of the famous Molotow club. Dressed in 80s jeans and white T-shirts, the power trio played on with irrepressible energy, driving and dizzying. Drummer Dan Matthew wiggled his head like Ringo Starr while bassist Tilly Harris pulled some moves as if she was playing with AC/DC. And guitarist Sam Willmett showed some incredible work on the fretboard. Like fast and crazy country licks that I can’t quite put my finger on. Definitely something you don’t hear very often in modern day indie rock.

Vanity Mirror  @ Nochtwache

In the 19th century, the unique red bricks housed a schnapps distillery. Today, the vaulted cellar called Nochtwache is a popular venue and served as the stage for the festivals best-kept secret: Vanity Mirror have released the fantastic debut album “Puff” and they wear their influences on their sleeves. The band consists of singer and songwriter Brent Randall hailing from Toronto and drummer Johnny Toomey, who lives in LA. In tow they had two guest musicians who stepped in with style on bass and analog keys. And immediately I felt transported back into the late 60’s. Not only because Vanity Mirror create perfect pop in the vain of the Kinks or Emitt Rhodes. From using vintage equipment to wearing original outfits from the 60’s, every detail seemed authentic. The venue was dark and slightly too warm, and it could have been a brilliant show, if only the sound would have been less muddy. But no matter, Johnny kept twirling his drum sticks and Brent casually chewed his gum, while Vanity Mirror delivered an impeccable performance. Another hit from their other group Electric Looking Glass rounded off the set – and I was more than satisfied.

Although the Reeperbahn Festival is a great spot for discovering the next big thing, there’s also space for a couple of well-known names: Chrissy Hynde was in town and performed with The Pretenders. Arab Strap played a stripped down, but solid showcase as a two-piece with material from the old “Philiphobia” days. And then there was Billy Bragg.

Billy Bragg @ Große Freiheit

I’ve never considered myself a fan of Billy Bragg and would probably have missed this wonderful show full of inspiration, solidarity, laughter and great songs if my dear colleague Alice hadn’t been so keen to go. (By the way: Alice is well known for her hand-picked radio shows “Off Beat” on Novum.fm and “Kaleidoskop” on ByteFM and I can only recommend her detailed recap of the festival here). We both agreed, that Billy Bragg has aged well. It’s hard to believe he’s 65, as he has the energy and enthusiasm of a young person. His career is built on the foundation of being a protest singer for the working class – and he still has a lot to say. He is absolutely on top of his game, talking about trans rights and the Nazis in suits (referring to the German right-wing Party AfD). And yes, it sounded like a sermon when he spoke about his activism and the power of music: “Maybe it can’t change the world, but it has the power to make you think that change is possible.”.

Braggs setlist was mostly focused on welcome classics and the night was closed with one of his biggest hits “A New England”, which got the enthusiastic festival audience singing along.

This Is The Kit @ St. Michaelis

One of the best things about this club festival is that alternative spaces open their doors to host different showcases. For me, the grand finale of the four-day festival was This Is The Kit in Hamburg’s St. Michaelis Church on Saturday evening. The building is considered one of the most beautiful Hanseatic Protestant baroque churches and has 2500 seats. Not all of them were occupied when This Is The Kit played their set with a full band. What is immediately noticeable is the enormous delay in the sound. Even normal speech is difficult to manage in such a space. Paris-based bandleader Kate Stables was keen to play it safe and chose some quieter songs for the setlist. And although the intimacy suffered and was lost in the large building, the magic of Stables‘ swirling vocal melodies won the hearts of everyone present. At the latest shortly before midnight, when the audience sang along a mantra-like „be okay“ to the song „Dibs“, the warm feeling of good company and community came up. What a perfect ending for the second post-pandemic year of the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg.

Lieder vom Verschwinden

Das Verschwinden und wie sich davon singen lässt, darum geht es in der heutigen Sendung: Der amerikanische Songwriter Stephen Steinbrink hat sein neues Album „Disappearing Coin“ genannt – aus lauter Faszination über einen Straßenmagier, der einen Vierteldollar aus der Hand eines jungen Passanten wegzauberte.

Ruth Garbus widmet ihr Stück „Mono No Aware“ dem japanischen Konzept, mit der Flüchtigkeit des Lebens umzugehen und darin eine zerbrechliche Schönheit zu erkennen. Ebenjene ist auch den schottischen Altmeistern Teenage Fanclub bekannt, weshalb sie ihr neues Album „Nothing Lasts Forever“ benannt haben.

Und schließlich zitiert der Sendungstitel das zweite Album von Noth. Inmitten feiner und vielfältiger Arrangements erzählt die Köln-Hamburger Band unter anderem von der geliebten Stammkneipe, die einer schicken Cocktailbar weichen musste.

Lieder vom Verschwinden war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 20.09.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 21.09. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 23.09. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Zurück zur Mitte?

Politische Fragen möchte diese Sendung lieber nicht beantworten. Es geht hier schlicht um Musik bzw. um die Redewendung «middle of the road». In den 60er und 70er Jahren war MOR ein gängiges Radioformat, das für moderate Klänge stand, oft versehen mit mehrstimmigen Harmonien und leichten, orchestralen Arrangements. Also durchweg gemäßigt und ganz ohne Überraschungen?! Nach zwei Programmstunden wissen wir mehr. Nur so viel sei jetzt schon verraten: unterwegs treffen wir auf Sonny & The Sunsets, Die Regierung und Diners.

Zurück zur Mitte? war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 06.09.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 07.09. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 09.09. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Zurück ins Licht

«Back To The Light» heißt die neue Single von Teenage Fanclub. Das klingt hoffnungsvoll – zumindest für Menschen, während das Licht auf Insekten eine oft fatale Anziehung ausübt. Die Bedeutung der Leuchtkraft für verschiedenerlei Kreaturen, darauf wird in den Songs der heutigen Sendung gelegentlich Bezug genommen.

Auch The Clientele wagen sich mit dem ambitionierten Doppelalbum «I Am Not There Anymore» zurück ans Licht der Öffentlichkeit. Das britische Trio zelebriert hier abermals seine Liebe zum Kammerpop, getragen von Alasdair McLeans fein ziselierter Gitarrenarbeit.

Neues gibt es auch von der siebenköpfigen Kombo Pia Fraus aus Tallinn. Auf «Evening Colours« wissen sie Shoegaze und Dreampop geschmackvoll aus verschiedenen Winkeln zu beleuchten.

Zurück ins Licht war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 23.08.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 24.08. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 26.08. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Gebeutelte Seele, heiterer Klang

Traurigkeit und Verzweiflung in fast allen Songs: Da fließen dienstags Tränen, da wird im Pool geweint, und sogar einen Selbstmord gibt es zu beklagen. «Alles ist vergänglich» singt die Gruppe Noth aus Hamburg, «Tired Of Being Alone» klagen die Lieblingsschotten Teenage Fanclub und The High Water Marks berichten über «Trouble From The East». Aber keine Sorge: Mögen die textlichen Themen auch noch so düster sein – die Musik in der heutigen Sendung zeichnet zumeist ein ganz anderes Bild.

Gebeutelte Seele, heiterer Klang war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 09.08.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 10.08. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 12.08. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Geradewegs zum Indie Rock

Als Genrebezeichnung taugt er kaum, denn Indie Rock ist ein ziemlicher Allgemeinplatz. Dennoch soll die Wendung heute unser Wegweiser sein – zum Beispiel zu TH Da Freak. Vor einigen Jahren setzte sich der junge Mann aus Bordeaux an die Spitze der französischen Independent-Szene. Dabei macht Thoineau Palis einfach die Musik, die ihm am liebsten gefällt – und die führt immer wieder geradewegs zurück zum «klassischen» Indie Rock der 90er Jahre, zu Sebadoh, Pavement oder auch Superchunk.

Nachdem TH Da Freak erst letztes Jahr mit «Coyote» ein hervorragendes Album abgeliefert hat, steht das Einmannprojekt nun schon wieder mit einer guten Platte auf der Matte, schlicht und ergreifend «Indie Rock» betitelt. Glasklar im Bekenntnis, aber doch mit vielen Facetten.

Ebenso geradewegs zum Indie Rock führen uns in dieser Ausgabe alte und neue Songs von Blake Babies, Colored Lights und Special Friend.

Geradewegs zum Indie Rock war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 26.07.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 27.07. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 29.07. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Ferienmodus

Einen Gang herunterschalten und die unbeschwerte Leichtigkeit des Sommers genießen. Diese Golden Glades-Ausgabe möchte die Umstellung auf den Ferienmodus mit entsprechender Musik unterstützen. Als hilfreich erweisen sich saisonale Tracks u.a. von The National Jazz Trio Of Scotland sowie das brasilianische Projekt Sessa.

Ferienmodus war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 12.07.23 – 17:00-19:00 Uhr. Wdh.: Donnerstag, 13.07. von 7:00-9:00 Uhr und Samstag, 15.07. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr
