DeWolff - Strange Fruits And Undiscovered Plants - cd -
Incredible album from this very young band from the Netherlands. They've distilled a very distinctive sound out of the record collection of their grandparents. We here echoes of Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple Mark I, second-album-Pink-Floyd and especially The Doors and Cream. Some people might say : "Well they're not original".
Well fuck them! When is it that a seventeen year old has written a song ("Silver Love Machine") that is as good as "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" by Pink Floyd. I strongly advise them to release the stunning ballad "Medine" as a single and even a commercial breakthrough is possible. Also because all three of them look like gorgeous posterboys who could line every teenage girls' bedroom. But there is more: the beautifull repetitive "Parloscope" really gets under your skin and the haunting "Red Sparks Of The Morning Dusk" gets me flipping over.
You can hear that this trio of guitar/vocals, organ and drums are real music lovers. They take the best of the music that they love and totally turn it into a DeWolff thing. The production also is flawless. It's clean and transparent and never loses focus.
This album is a big leap forward from their first mini-album and I give DeWollf a lot of credit for bringing this kind of music to the attention of their peers (14, 15 and 16 year old youngster) but still keeping massive credibility with the "30year+" record-buying public.
This album is competing with the latest Sonic Youth and A Place To Bury Strangers releases with the number 1 spot of my album yearlist of 2009. In the sixties they would say: "Far Out", now we say: "Fucking brilliant stuff!" - Rino -
The cd version features different artwork than the lp.
