The Micronaut

Friedfisch LP The Micronaut

Just like different fishes can be found in different grounds, also the acoustic tales of The Micronaut take place in different regions of the emotional landscape: Sometimes warm, sometimes fresh – sometimes calm and stagnant, sometimes lively and floating. And just like all the fishes are connected by the water surrounding them, also this album has its connecting element: A very individual and independent groove. This groove comes with a lot of surprises. For instance, when a guitar chord from the acoustic band atmosphere of “Gruen- dling” suddenly gets tangled up in a loop and introduces an unexpected but coherent change into the direction of broken, electronic beats. Or when the emotional World Music elements of “Schleie” mix up with exciting Halfstep rhythms. Sophi- sticated arrangements, unusual instrumentations and intense emotions- these are the main attributes of “Friedfisch”. Though the experimental character of this work does not really aim the dance floor, it still keeps connected to this place: Two sensitive remixes by Mollono. Bass represent the upbeat for an entire series, being exclusively released on vinyl.
