Das Hobos - Memphis Buchloe (2012)




8.9

/Experimental folk, Funk rock, Indie rock, Blues, Roots music, Dance rock, Soul, Alternative/

Comment: this set of 7 songs is a refreshing drift between folk-y and blues-y moods, between acoustic and electric, though, all of that is channelized in its own way by this German trio, called Das Hobos (also known as Rhythm Police, the indie version of Leroy Schlimm, Frank Nägele and Tom Simonetti). For instance, Harlem Master is still an indie-tinged, more concretely, a little indietronic jam. However, my favorite track is 888 which sounds like a modern version of American Primitivism tightly mixed up with Bowie-esque funk grooves and soul vibes In fact, the same can be said about Toy Of Toy. The issue is released on Montrèal-based label Camomille Records, headed by Vincent Fugère aka Muhr.
