Es gibt Bands, die machen nach drei Akkorden und einer fusseligen Orgelmelodie Feierabend. Es gibt aber auch Bands, die schleifen am Sound, schrauben am Text, schmirgeln die Solos passgenau, feilen am Tempo, klopfen an allen Ecken und Enden den Popsong ab, bis sie knappe Schmuckst\u00fccke kreiert haben, die Zeitlosigkeit ausstrahlen.<\/p>\n

Eine US-Band ganz in Wien: Pretty Pleas (Daniel Smith – voc, guit, George Clavicle – bass, B.B. Kong dr)<\/strong> \u00a0beweisen, dass man neben exzellentem Handwerk, Spa\u00df am Experiment, auch die richtigen Einfl\u00fcsse mixen muss, um einen authentischen, individuellen Sound zu schaffen, der gleichzeitig exzellenter Pop ist und aufgerauter Alternative Rock. Die Quadratur des Kreises? Gute Musik war immer schon das Etwas-Mehr. Unterst\u00fctzung beim Sch\u00e4rfen des idealen Sounds fand Pretty Pleas in Paolo Tornitore, der sowohl fette Orgelparts beisteuerte als auch an den Arrangements polierte, und in der gro\u00dfartigen Keyboarderin Jasmin Nagl, die f\u00fcr einige Songs das perfekte Sahneh\u00e4ubchen an den Tasten zauberte.<\/p>\n

Daniel Smith: \u201eThe record is an intriguing blend of power pop, glam rock, new wave, and psychedelia influences.\u201c Diesen gelungenen und sehr tanzfreudigen Mix aus Atmosph\u00e4re und Klang bezeichnet die Band als Moody Art Pop.<\/p>\n

Das Album ist die beste Beispiel f\u00fcr diese Soundbeschreibung. Mit dem Opener \u201eMoving Forward\u201c atmen die Zuh\u00f6rerin und der Zuh\u00f6rer die Frische, wie wir sie von Bands wie den fr\u00fchen Roxy Music kennen. Mit \u201eBroke\u201c legen sie sofort nach. Und obwohl die markante Stimme von Daniel Smith eine andere Liga bespielt, das Flamboyante eines Brian Ferry liegt nicht weit entfernt, und auch die Melancholie eines Stuart A. Staples (Tindersticks) ist Daniel Smith nicht unbekannt. \u201eThe band delves into universal themes such as loss, heartbreak, alienation, as well as the throes of new found love.\u201c, weist Daniel Smith in die Themenwelt der Songs.<\/p>\n

Damit der Pretty-Pleas-Sound von \u201eIn Circles and Lines“ (V\u00d6: 13.09.24\/Konkord\/375)<\/strong> kompakt bleibt und groovy wie ein The-Sweet-Hit, setzt der glasklare Klang der Gitarre die Markierungen in Richtung Power Pop. Aber auch der Orgelsound, der Garagepunk und die britischen Masters of Rave der 90iger, Inspiral Carpets, in Erinnerung ruft (\u201eGhost\u201c), \u00a0feiert den Enthusiasmus f\u00fcr funkelnde Melodien – Moody Art Pop is it.<\/p>\n

\u201eIn Circles and Lines“ offers a deep dive into the ways we interact with each other in romance, life, and every facet of human relationships\u2014a contemplative exploration of love’s many forms and the inevitable heartbreak that often follows.\u201c<\/p>\n

Pretty Pleas zeigt auf \u201eIn Circles and Lines\u201c wie leicht Popsongs klingen k\u00f6nnen, die nicht nach einem vorgekauten Pop-Muster konstruiert sind, sondern von Enthusiasten gelebt werden.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"
