Get ready to dive into one of the strangest, most eclectic, interesting, leftfield, and experimental albums that you have ever heard in your life. HOLZKOPFKINDER sees Berlin/Los Angeles-based artist Stony Sugarskull teaming up with German producer LeLeander to go on a journey that nobody has dared go on before. Enlisting the help of Monika Demmler on vocals, ‘Zucker’ is seriously inventive, avant-garde, and hypnotising. Take the album’s opener ‘Bentlej’ for example. I’m pretty sure those are samples from T. Rex’s ‘Get It On’. Either way, I guarantee that it’s a tune unlike any you’ve heard before.
‘Zeit’ follows ‘Bentlej’, and if you think you were in for an experimental break…think again! A mostly spoken-word track, at least for its first one minute and thirty seconds, ‘Zeit’ is another illustration of HOLZKOPFKINDER’s eclecticism and diversity. Just spellbinding!
The ten-track album is truly more of a sonic journey than anything else. From the intricate and futuristic sounds of ‘Goose Bumps’ to the breakbeat-infused ‘Future Baby’, ‘Zucker’ is unapologetically different and distinctive. I think that’s why we love it so much! We can’t wait to hear what HOLZKOPFKINDER get up to next!
