“Tanzkraut. An analogue 24-track audiotape, a room without dividing walls, a minimal amount of time and not a single song in their luggage - perfect conditions for The Von Duesz to record an album! They fill the room with instruments and the blankness with a kind of music, that needs this lack of mind and time. Because it's a state of pressure and stimulation, a state of freedom evoking a creative urge. GARANT is Krautrock's delight in playing, revived by danceable beats of this young decade!"
For their cycle of releases, The Von Duesz spread thirteen heavy-seated tracks, joyfully piling up textures and lairs to give shelter to 40 years of electronic music. Whereas the single THE WORST HAS YET TO COME sounds yet Caribou-esque, right behind the next corner hides the tone of Matthew Herbert's debut, making room for dark house music (DIESEL) on the one hand and Postrock on the other, to finally find itself in the arms of FEUILLETON - a cineastic peace of the 70's with a sublte gush of original instruments like Polymoog, Multimoog, Minnimoog . For a warm analogue album, which was entirely improvised and ornamented with only a few overdubs, the tracks turn out to be immensly confident and occasionally so fine, that some loose ends almost become Pop!
After their self-produced first album "Dynamo", Ismail Oezgentuerk, Florian Schaeffer and Henning Rice have brought their technique of realtime composition to a new level. While on their debut they wafted and carefully felt their way, The Von Duesz now manage to become voluminous and true. In the studio they continue the free- spirited approach they started live: A balancing act that led them to a variety of renowned venues and to play impressive shows across Germany - from the electronic music scene of Berlin to much acclaimed FUSION Festival to Jazz festivals and back again - prooving there's no contradiction between Jazz and underground, between German influences and international sound, between improvisation and catchy clarity. Or, like CAN's Jaki Liebezeit would say: "Improvised music is like a football match: There are rules for everything, but still every single game is different!
