Klangliebe: Lost in you (Single, 2014)

A secret meeting in a hotel room. Tension, hot feelings, forbidden desires, intemperance… That's the setting. And the original song by German Trio KLANGLIEBE sounds alike. The longing voice of Klangschwester is mirrored by lonesome Fender Rhodes sounds, some laments by a twang guitars you'll never forget, and jazz drum kit that is rather dreaming of better times. KLANGLIEBE consist of Karl Gründer, himmelblau und Klangschwester. After they musically met for the first time, they decided to become a band. And now they regularly leave their reality work desks (which are allocated all over Germany) to meet in the virtual proximity. It´s very convenient, they never have to pack and lug any equipment for their gatherings and performances. Most funny are the meetings in the virtual rehearsal room. Beyond all the virtuality there has appeared a feeling of real connection and liaison over the time. As a plus to the great title song, they have created the far distant atmosphere of the downbeat track called “Muggy”, the up-pushing electro techno of “This Piece of Me” as well as the quietly happy jam session “Electrify My Soul”. The EP comes wit four remixes by several E&D - label mates, all reworking “Lost In You”. Yoshiyuki Ota takes it as a beatless arrangement of abstract, geometric sounds. Charles Bordeaux twists the lonesomeness until there's a wild party in your brain. Tunnelvision mounts a driving handclapper that is both jazzy and house, while Chromatic Dream thickens the plot by means of a driving electro bassline. Us at E&D? Definitely lost in this.
