Yeah, "Black Earth" is the best, but I like "Midnight Radio" a lot too.

I'm not that crazy about Midnight Radio. I like Sunset Mission & Black Earth best.

Any recommendations about the earlier albums? I like Sunset Mission but haven't heard the others.
― Brad C., Thursday, 15 January 2009 03:16 (fifteen years ago) link
also try the band Zu
I think Zu are great but I'd never baldly recommend them to someone on the basis they liked Bohren and especially not Ronan here.
I don't think it really matters which of the two most recent Bohren albums you get first, 's all good

agreed on zu. don't really see any similarity at all. (both on ipecac now? uh... horns?)

I saw them a couple of years ago, they sound just like the records! i.e. very moody and layered, with the occasional tap of the drums.

i have not listened to 'geisterfaust' before and so far it is my favourite thing; it seems to isolate the one thing that they do in a way that is purer than the others i have heard
not unrelatedly, the necks are not on spotify

would love to see them live.

midnight radio also kind of great. wonder what kind of intra-band communication led to the various versions of their appproach seen on the difft. records

Definitely my favorite musical moment at Roadburn 2010. And that's a festival FULL of amazing acts.

After reading the heroin Jazz thread I've been listening to everything that's on Spotify. And looking at the pictures on discogs, their vinyl releases look great too, although they all seem to be very limited editions and probably unavailable anywhere.
― I am using your worlds, Wednesday, 18 August 2010 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link
so good live. they introduced themselves a few songs into the set, "this is ze bass player, this is ze drummer, i am ze saxophonist" and then shut up and played for another hour.

from their website Dear friends of uneventfull music,
BOHREN & DER CLUB OF GORE is glad and proud to announce a new release (March 2011):
BEILEID - uneventfull music is coming home: three pieces, 37 minutes, including coverversion of WARLOCKS “Catch my heart”.
Keep it sick!
Can't wait for this! I hope it will continue in their jazzy side.
― JacobSanders, Saturday, 19 February 2011 03:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Also I just noticed that I missed a 2010 release called 'MITLEID LADY,' is it good?
― JacobSanders, Saturday, 19 February 2011 03:30 (thirteen years ago) link
Is that the Latitudes thing? It's great, but an insane rip off (10 minutes for like $15).

have any of you heard a band called Heroin And Your Veins? Sort of a lame name but really nice music, a little bit like Bohren, kinda more surfy but has that same dark loungey vibe. Very Twin Peaks.

Do Bohren translate their stage banter when touring abroad?
"Hallo, wir sind Bohren und der Club of Gore. Wir spielen heute 2 Stücke mehr. Allerdings sind die neuen kürzer. Im Endeffekt kommt es also auf's selbe heraus.""Als nächstes kommt eins unserer Protestlieder. Es richtet sich gegen Teilnahmslosigkeit,""Das nächste Stück ist nach dem selben Prinzip aufgebaut wie alle unsere Stücke: Keine Möbel, aber 'ne Putzfrau!"

They were very moody last night at the Round Chapel in east London, as ever (they're there again tonight). Down to a trio now, the keys guy and double bass guy share the percussive duties between playing notes on their respective instruments, which seems easy enough when you're playing at 0.01 mph. Sax dude was very chatty too in a self-parodic lugubrious German kind of way - "this is a song about a girl who went to America...(long pause)...she's dead now".

btw i saw them a while ago in the columbia theater in berlin. it was packed. and i think there were quite a lot of musicians there. i even talked to some. on the whole not a vey memorable concert. their song banter is half funny but their music is just too slow so that i can enjoy it live. it works better at home late at night with dimmed lights or candles, a glass of wine, maybe a joint and some deep conversations.
