Comment: Alexander Wigger is a 27-year-old musician from Luzern, Switzerland who has issued an array of albums during the last years. Sould Out, a 10-track release incorporates the elements of insatiable alternative (rock) fused densely with different styles and dodges. The side effects used to extend from motorik, krautrock-ish propulsions and the 60`s British acid folk-tinged looming (Helping Hand) to Lou Reed/Velvet Underground charged visions and more obscure, even ominous textures and baleful milieus. The ditties used to be mainly instrumental ones, though, at times Wigger used to sing his murky lyrics (for instance, at On Television) which takes on the uncompromisingness of dark folk/neofolk/pagan folk rather than more conventional structures. Undoubtedly it is very good and much more convincing than accidental shit you would able to find out from the top charts. In a word, the outlet is highly impressive and inviting to listen to it again and again. The next step it to listen to the rest of the albums by Alexander Wigger.
