Cute woodpeckers come from Vienna. This is information that geographically corresponds to the truth, but is misunderstood musically. Because the sextet does not refer to the Austropop of earlier days nor do they have a relationship with the Wandas, Ninos or Voodoos today. No, on the contrary: the morbid basic equipment for which the Viennese worldwide is famous is in vain in the work of Buntspecht, even if they are quite capable of melancholy.
But they prefer to sing while the music weighs comfortably: “No matter what you are afraid of, it’s half as bad.” And only a few songs go on, everyone in the choir: “Today it’s nice, today is a good day.” Correspondingly rhyme crams “vitamin C” on “five-di-dung tea” or “hair” how to laugh “, clamp through folk friendly, know a klezmer rhythm, but also know how Dream-Pop works and jazz also like to dream and dance and promise:” This world is a gift. “
No, you can’t be angry with this band, and if it threatens to become too comfortable and even too harmless, place a sentence with barbens: “Tell me a lie that I think.” But one likes to believe this lie, this antidote against the current world broadcast is gladly administered.
