Just discovered them via the Ulver thread. Wow! Thick, dark, mahogany jacket wearing . Some of this sounds really familiar to me in a way. Why on earth is it making me think of eighties UK TV, Only Fools and Horses or something? I'm listening to Sunset Mission. Is the other stuff different?

I think Sunset Mission is the best of theirs, sometimes I think it's the best record, ever. Dolores is great too, kind of similar late nite smokey vibe to sunset mission, also has great sax playing. I don't think any of the others have the jazzy sax, but they have their moments, more dark and brooding. I think Black Earth is the darkest one, I don't remember. I don't play them as much as Sunset Mission, and I still haven't heard their first record. I'm excited they have a new one and what a great cover!!!

i couldn't imagine this music working without the sax, but i'll give em a try.

I was wrong it's Geisterfaust, not Black Earth that I found the darkest. I can't even make it through the whole album. Really heavy somber music. I'm listening to Beileid right now and it's really nice and lazy.

geisterfaust is my favorite. i don't like the debut much, it has the best song titles though.

cheers Jacob.

impressed by people who can tell their albums apart (no diss to their albums)

i have just only discovered them with the new album which i enjoy - if that is the right word - very much. their extremely slow music in between jazz and ambient also reminds of someone else but i don't know whom. the slow motion draws me in like crazy, it is like a maelstroem turning around which swallows me. it is late night music for sure, i can imagine it matching perfectly with a joint. in a way this music seems to destroy or better to annihilate time. gorgeous stuff, i am very much looking forward in discovering the earlier albums.

i kind of hate the vocals on the new one

vocals? uh oh

vocals? i am sure i'd hate them too if i heard them, gr8080.

ok i guess it was just a mike patton guest appearance on the 2011 album i was thinking about:

Should of listened to that song all the way through before posting it here, sorry about that. The vocals come in and ruin the heroin jazz vibes.

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!"

We will never poll this record, unfortunately, so let me just say "MAXIMUM BLACK" FTW

A discography poll would be more fun I think

This was our dog the first time she heard Bohren on the stereo. It very much got her attention.

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".

New album out today

I like it

i am a little burned out on their slomo shtick. apparently the drummer left. probably he fell asleep while drumming.

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.
