GERWIN EISENHAUER LP 2019 VINYL 180G/ORANGE

“If on his solo album from 2019, the toxic strings meet a solo organ piece (“Breathe slowly Sabine”) where every NuSouler would feel at home, satisfied by the soothing voice of Lisa Wahlandt, but also the acid-jazzy bees and things and flowers (“Pizza Bucks Blues”), you might find yourself between apocalyptotrap and spaghettihop, where a murmuring reviewer evokes happy times of trip hop. (“Hammered a lot”), or an MC with a rapid draw transforms the track into a collage with all sorts of distortions and sometimes poisonous, other times downright alarming key advice (“An interesting story”)

- everything is complemented by the grand orchestral suite “What We Learned”, which grows from the always gloomy HipHopera with its clean strings, whether it’s an army of double basses or cellos in their lowest registers, in a sonic hell about Eisenhauer’s drunken rhythms, against which the filspectorian Wall of Sound is rubbish. If this was the overture to world domination, with “July 2019” being closer to their adagio. Samuel Barber goes Trap, buzzing a little, drrrrp-ttta-tta-tack-tack-tacking, with a precision that is frightening even in delay. Also, the distribution is uncompromising: 200 CDs, 200 vinyls, 100 tapes. Without download, without Spotify, without rubbish.” Victoriah Szirmai (JAZZTHETICS)

“Eisenhauer plays drums with an exceptionally high dynamic, finely woven sounds and placed with sensitivity, such as textures, a waking flow, as well as interwoven rhythmic ideas, pleasantly celebrated between cemented rhythm and very free improvisation. Despite this diversity, everything always has an extremely musical sense - a truly remarkable album.”
