Sometimes even the coolest Striezis have to get out of the city. So you drive towards the sun in a Lamborghini, and it doesn’t matter whether you speed to the West Coast or to the Wachau if you already have the Californian sun in your luggage. Fact: The Austrians Bilderbuch, previously loved for (semi-)ironic material battles and the unironic hangover afterwards, have made a guitar album with GELB IST DAS FELD – and thus sabotaged the picture book principle before this “principle” could even be finally pinned down. With the same irritation with which one once noted Bilderbuch’s turn to the hyper-artificial, one now lets oneself fall into the unusually organic, shimmering, warm sound of GELB IST DAS FELD.

Spend heavenly dog days in soul and power pop paradise (“Golden Retriever”). Gets dizzy when day drinking. Get a kind of warped Austro version of Steely Dan with “Blossom”. And realized: A Maurice Ernst is even cool when he sings, as if he were drumming on the car window at full speed; he is not Jan Joseph Liefers (evidence: “Between your world and mine”). But even without an icy blonde facade, one of the most fascinating phenomena in German-speaking pop. At least.
