Blackberries
Disturbia
The days in which challenging music could trouble the charts are certainly long gone but there'll always be people into music that is more than just some background noise. There'll also always be people who play music you have to listen to. Blackberries are taking that challenge for quite some time now and while remaining a kind of best kept secret in the German psych and kraut-scene, the world is beginning to take notice. Their energetic and intense live shows earned them a rapidly growing reputation as one of the most fascinating acts around. The experience of hundreds of live shows is all over these nine brilliant songs that still draw on their kraut- and psych-roots but also have a fresh and modern urgency. While the melodic strength still shines bright as one of the key elements, the themes of these new tunes have become considerably darker.
