How do we start here? Neufundland are a young band from Cologne, Germany and play a catchy yet layed back mixture of pop and indie with German lyrics. But while pop tends to be nothing more than a distraction from the shit that’s going on around us, vocalists Fabian and Fabian are taking a stance. I haven’t come across great lines such as Joseph Stalin is buying uniforms at Primark and references to Masters of the Universe (…by the spending power of Greyskull), political refugees and Kettcar in one song.
The sound is a little weird at first, with spoken word verses and reversed sounds. But the song opens up with a rolling bass, relaxed drums until trumpets and group vocals make for a chorus that’s as catchy as they come Oh Baby, the sky is the limit.
The tasty video was shot by Hannah Schweiger and Martin Lamberty (the latter is best known for giving AnnenMayKantereit, a signature look and feel). Quite exciting to share this video with you all!
Neufundland’s debut EP is out September 4th via Fleet Union.
