(There are five guys pictured on their MySpace; please God let this be the lead singer)
I just got tipped off to Trelleborg/Sassnitz. This over-the-top, gothic, indie krautrock is not usually my kind of thing, but the over emoting on both these songs is intriguing.
The band’s name comes from the ferry that connects Trelleborg, Sweden with Sassnitz, Germany. Apparently that journey is a common one and a coming of age pilgrimage of sorts for young swedes as the cheap beer resides on the German end of the trip.
“Push Me” is the clear single of the two, but “Landscaping” with it’s more elaborate and undulating sound may stand the test of time (and repeated listens) a little better.
