Die Pest In Piemont
With "Die Pest Im Piemont", BILDERBUCH 2011 presented their second, conceptually designed album, on which singer MAURICE ERNST devotes himself to the ambivalence of growing up with his often seemingly surreal texts oscillating between astute reflection and intoxicating poetry. The four musicians who love to experiment perfectly span an extremely compelling stylistic arc, accompanied by wonderful arrangements, from powerful danceable indie rock to post-punk to sophisticated pop sounds, and brilliantly master the always challenging balancing act between artistic demands and radio-friendly accessibility.
