The first LP from Zürich duo Das War Krach (a new band formed by members of Metallspürhunde) was released earlier this year through German label Danse Macabre Records.
Protokino features eight songs of dark electropop with a balance of dense electronics, guitars and live drums, and German lyrics sung by both Michel and Marion. There’s a wry sense of humor at work in many of the songs, and although those familiar with Metallspürhunde will recognize the style, this is definitely a new band with its own sound. The band recorded the tracks in their own studio, and I provided additional production, mixed and mastered the album at The Eye Socket.
Protokino is available on vinyl, CD and digital download through the usual retailers (including Amazon). More info at the band’s website.
