Det talentfulde danske og purunge band med det selvrefleksive navn — Navneløs, har før fået roser for deres EP her på MMB , og nu rører bandet glædeligvis på sig igen. Singlen Metronord griber stafetten fra EP’en blanding af alternativ rock og storladen, klassisk orkestrering, dog i denne omgang med en klar dominans af førstnævnte. Den gode melodi er heldigvis stadig intakt, ligesom nummerets bund af varierende støjende elementer endnu engang tilfører en stoflighed, der generelt klæder bandets lyd. Nerven af ungdommelig naivitet og længselsfuldhed skinner stadig igennem, men man fornemmer mere aggressivitet og målrettethed (eller er det [...]

Gæsteindlæg: Stinus Kirkeskov Danmarks musikvækstlag strutter for tiden af kreativitet og villighed til at udfordre og eksperimentere med lyde. For nyligt blev der på denne blog skrevet om fantastiske Luftkastel, der blander forliste drømme og desperationens eskapisme med sjælelige guitarer og en sindsoprivende vokal. Nu er der så et nyt navn i stalden i en i forvejen imponerende talentmasse. X Factor “go home” får man unægtelig lyst til at sige. Dette er hvert fald bedre end samtlige vindere af førnævnte talentshow, og endnu et bevis på at stjerneskud fra himlen rent faktisk kan lande på jorden. [...]

Foto: Cathrine Ertmann Islets Of Dust er en duo bestående af tidligere Under Byen pianist og –korsanger Katrine Stochholm og komponist og instrumentalist Kasper Staub. De to musikere er også kærester, hvilket bevirker at sangenes tekster om kærlighed får et personligt præg. Islets Of Dust tager dig med ind i et underundigt og eventyrligt univers med fejende cello, klaverspil, klokkespil (celeste), kasserede stueorgler, båndfalske ukuleler og legetøjskeyboards. Live forløses sangene i et storladent organisk univers, hvor duoen udvides til et regulært ensemble med bl.a. strygere og kor. De stemningsfulde og intense koncerter er blevet beskrevet som en [...]

The idea behind Copenhagen's Frost festival is to have Danish bands play in unusual venues while also including international artists on the bill. The international acts do work as a draw when you see names such as Wilco on the posters around the city, but the smaller local acts and particularly the location-specific gigs themselves are the real gold. Under Byen (Under the City) were the opening night band in the Theatre Bremen. Their cinematic, ambient rock sound was played from behind a mesh screen with constant video projections from moving traffic to [...]

Je genauer man den avantgardistischen Ammenmärchen von Under Byen lauscht, desto tiefer ziehen sie in Bann und plastischer wird ihre wundersame Welt. Im Zuge der exklusiven Schweiz-Tour haben wir bereits im Frühjahr den Titelsong kennengelernt . Inzwischen ist das vierte Album "Alt Er Tabt" (Aurora/K-tel) der dänischen Klang-Avantgardisten von Under Byen auch in der Schweiz physisch erhältlich. Eigentlich wurde damals schon alles gesagt: Die Band ist seit 15 Jahren ein Phänomen, das sich nur schwer fassen lässt. Trotz schwerwiegendem Besetzungswechsel seit "Samme Stof Som Stof" (2006) und [...]

Denmark's heavily atmospheric & strikingly beautiful septet Under Byen recently unleashed their video for "Kapitel 13. Directed once again by visual artist Sidse Carstens, who was behind their video for "Alt Er Tabt" (All is lost), the clip focuses on a few dramatically coiffed characters, each enacting individualized, powerful gestures, collectively focusing on their hair.
