1. Award winning Austrian Band combine hypnotic grooves and their trademark high-energy style with a more subtle and deeply spiritual vibe on their sixth album Lila. Working with spoken word artist Precious Nnebedum and producer Marco Kleebauer for the first time, the album offers 5 previously unreleased songs as well as a pulsating live session. The band’s unusual configuration of 2 drummers, 2 bass players and 3 horns remains, as does the line up of Johannes Schleiermacher, Mario Rom and Astrid Wiesinger make up the wind section with Nikolaus Dolp and Herbert Pirker on drums and Lukas Kranzelbinder and Oliver Potratz on bass
2. ‘Lila’ sees Kranzelbinder fulfill a long-held ambition to work with Viennese producer Marco Kleebauer . Like Kranzelbinder, he is a key figure in the Austrian music scene and although their musical paths have been very different the collaboration just clicked. On several tracks we hear Kranzelbinder's now familiar multi-layered compositions supplemented by Kleebauer’s sound layers pushing the door wide open to a new musical chapter of , but not at the sacrifice of band’s trademark sound. Another exciting collaboration is that with spoken word artist Precious Nnebedum, who grew up between Nigeria and Austria and features on ‘Not Water But Rest’. On ‘Shasta Fey’ – one of 3 live tracks – the hypnotic grooves and trance-like passages associated with the band jump to the fore. On a repetitively rippling carpet of drums and guembri, bassist Potratz is given seemingly endless space to fully unfold with his Bass VI. The title reflects the strong influence of the film world on Kranzelbinder's music, as Shasta Fey is a character from Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice and the track ‘Detroit’ is an homage to a scene in Jim Jarmusch's film Only Lovers Left Alive. Both films have already served as inspiration for several pieces. The title track and first single ‘Lila’, takes a gentler path showcasing Kranzelbinder's instinct for melody and instrumentation and is the band's shortest – but perhaps also most concise – piece to date. ‘Detroit’ captivates with a dialogue between the kalimba and drums until Kranzelbinder also dives in with his guembri . The track also forms the transition to a more playful part of the album and the three live tracks, ‘Heat’, ‘Shasta Fey’ and ‘Breathe’. Recorded in a small venue in Vienna last year they capture the excitement and thrill of the band’s now legendary live shows with ‘Breathe’ ending the album with a collective exhale
