Cinema for the ears
according to the reaction of the press since their 2009 release "Lost In
Your Head", Patty Moon are ranked amongst those internationally successful
artists, who position themselves skillfully between profound singer/songwriter
aesthetics and accessible pop. "Stern" magazin called the production
a "magical album", the magazine "Audio" was enthralled by
the inspiring "feathery folk-pop" and "Jazzthetik" described "Lost
In Your Head" as a "genuine gesamtkunstwerk."
Patty Moon are beguiling and irritating sounds full of profundity, sometimes
sad, sometimes spiced with a bit of irony and of perfection. Patty Moon's style
is spontaneously associated with established artists from Iceland, Chicago or
London. But the sound cosmos of Patty Moon has deep rural roots. For years the band has
lived and worked in a small village near the Kaiserstuhl in the southwest of Germany.
Patty Moon are sophisticated sounds created during endless night sessions by puzzling noises,
rhythms and loops.
It is mainly the voice of Patty which adds colour and magic to the songs. Her
voice is warm and of melancholic fragility and she s enthralling and enchanting
from the very first note. The sound fanatics around Tobias Schwab tirelessly
work on the master pieces, until musical density and lyrical intensity match
to represent the perfect Patty Moon song. Especially Daniel Hansmann's sometimes
thrilling and hypnotic beats display the perfect background. Patty Moon s lyrics
are as intensive as the music. They content sensitive themes like security, transience
and moments caught in songs, always on search for truth. The suitable musical
background is often provided by a band plus violoncello and sometimes even by
a complete orchestra. If you like the eccentricity of Björk's voice, if
Portishead and Goldfrapp are among your favourites and if you don't recoil from
the strange sound of Tom Waits and nevertheless are searching for something very
unique, then Patty Moon and their current CD Clouds inside are a worthwhile challenge
for you. Who will listen to the album will experience a band in constant search
for the perfect song and a new sound. Driven by this intention, Patty Moon will
always make music that fits no ordinary pigeon hole.
It's a collection of songs that essentially taps into a common aesthetic fragility and distant happiness, indeed, a highly romantic outburst of musical diversity and integrity.
