Sing.

Ludwigshafen is a town somewhere in the southwest of Germany (so I’ve been told) that looks exactly like in the picture above. The most significant feature apart from BASF are two detectives of a homicide unit in a Sunday evening prime time TV series that used to be way better back in the days, at least in my memory. So now you know. Anyway, before metropolitan arrogance carries me away even further (you may hate me for that), suffice it to add that Ludwigshafen apparently has more to say to us now as it has bred some guy named Gabriel who has started making some fine, mellow and dubstep-informed electronica under the moniker CutOff!CutOff! that kinda caught me off guard last night with its captivating beat, incredible sampling and vocal manipulation built around a lonely, heavily reverberated piano chord. Gabriel has spent the last couple of years in London, New York and Berlin (see?), and indeed there’s a good deal of late night, big city melancholia to be found in T Is To N.
CutOff!CutOff!’s debut EP Sing is now out on the Gateshead, England label Spontaneous Rhythm.
