This is superb - Hamburg’s krautrock caretakers cast a butterfly net over
Germany’s Hidden Reverse with grimoire of contemporary, folkwise
neo-kraut spells by Brannten Schnüre, Baldruin, Kirschstein, Freundliche
Kreisel and Balint Brösel

Over the past decade an occult impetus has spawned a new movement of folk music
and unheimlich electronics in the German undergrowth. Comparable to the
emergence of post-industrial acts such as NWW, C93 or Coil in early ‘80s
UK, via Nico, and more acutely the preceding, seismic shift of original
krautrock and kosmiche pioneers in the ‘60s, who were understandably
looking to move beyond traditional music tainted by previous generations, this
new cohort seeded a peculiar, against-the-grain style of songcraft that runs
counter to contemporary german traditions of minimal techno and tweetronica.

‘Gespensterland’ now appears as an excellent stab at summing up
this new scene, focusing on its key proponents with a heady, slow burning and
psychedelic brew of lysergic folk and spangled, lo-fi, rhythm-driven electronics
certain to prompt further research by inquisitive souls. Opening with
Freundliche Kreisel’s possessed, dub-webbed cover of a traditional whose
name escapes us (my mum will kill me for this), the set sashays spindly lines of
inquiry between Baldruin’s oneiric vignette ‘Reich der
Illusionen’, Diablo soundtrack-esque ‘Elektrische
Kräuter’ and the mushied tingle of ‘In heimlichen
Winkeln’. There’s deeply eerie songcraft of Low Company alum,
Brannten Schnüre with the hobbled trot of ‘Disco’, and their
evocation of entering a fugue state in Aldi on ’Supermarkt’, while
Kirschstein also have us by a thread with the definitive ‘Futura
Narkotica’, and Freundliche Kreisel impress again with the C93-like
‘Spannung’ and melting music box of ‘Entwirklichun’.

Get the mushies in and make yourself comfortable for a great trip.
