A third of AnnenMayKantereit and the King Midas of the Berlin Indie scene are formed for a project.
Slowly it becomes confusing. Francesco Wilking may no longer be committed since tele. In addition to his many projects such as the highest railway, Crucchi Gang or Artur & Vanessa, another comes together with Christopher Annen, the guitarist of AnnenmayKantereit. And since everything that King Midas touches the Berlin indie scene seems to become gold, everything I wanted to be, the duo’s debut album, is very wonderful. 15 songs that seem dabbed aside, but are also finely chased and formulated. Lines that could not be simpler, but still to get to the point.
Just like in the wonderfully used lawsuit “no tourist (only so that you know)”, which everyone can understand well, who has ever been one of many in Rome or Barcelona or Machu Picchu, but still believed that he was different from all the others. Also in “people in asshole autos” Annen & Wilking entirely unexcited and yet very precisely a human dilemma in a nutshell: “I am not the first, I am not the last one who almost desperately / to the other, in the world and on me the most. “
In view of these topics, it is no wonder that the basic mood is melancholic, but all the beautiful sentences flow over in a very natural way – casual like the music, which always finds the obvious sound and the warm sound in the middle speed, without – and that is then The art that Francesco Wilking, like hardly anyone else, dominates – even sounds monotonous for a second.
