Comment:
unfortunately I have already forgotten my ability in speech and
understanding in German though German was my second foreign language
after Russian and before English. No practice kills one's adept to
speak a language. This 7-track outing being issued on such an imprint
as Digital Kunstrasen is as grossly focused on lyrics as it is
craftily stylised on oldie cabaret music driven by vivid piano chords
and more generally on permanent chord changes and thematic turns. As
we know well in its early days, approximately a century ago, the
cabaret in Germany (especially in metropolises like Munich, and
Berlin) embraced avant-garde tendencies by providing an outlet for
expressionists, for example. Because of that I guess the listener
could get an increased impression from these texts of this 7-track
outing. As the title already expressively hints at it - paint your
elks. By the way, as the most rock music was based on the template of
black blues music then such an avant-rock combo as Velvet Underground
instead of it have had its roots in the white, even the so-called
elite European culture, remarkably it did have an indirect cabaret
touch as well (of course, for Hitler and his comrades who were being
dismally stylised bastards it was an inferior representation of
culture and it would be "cured" through concentration
camps). By its touch the release is an old-fashioned yet amusing
glimpse like warming up all those old ghosts.
