Antenne/Cryptic Scenery
Split 7"
BSBTA
Here are two songs by two quirky songwriters that take immediacy in performance to a new level. Cryptic Scenery goes into a long number with acoustic guitars, some celestial keyboards and a soulful electric guitar solo and Christian H. Sotemann's own quirky voice. It ends with an infinite groove that unfortunately my turntable doesn't like. Antenne, on his side of things, starts his song like an airport announcement to get us in the mood of a voyage into the stratosphere with the help low-key singer Marie-Louise Munck. So very different in façade, these two songs totally make sense together on the same record. Great stuff.
