Joseph Boys
Reflektor
here is still a lot of noise in the FRG box. Toxic dynamics think laterally. Politically, ecologically and socially, it's bubbling away. An unpleasantly exciting milieu for creative birds. REFLEKTOR has become a unique seismograph of excitement culture. A parabolic sound cannon. The vociferous word from Dusseldorf. Joseph Boys wade knee-deep in five-chord system critique and work through stereotypical anti-heroes by way of tone-deaf supervision. The availability of the world with the simultaneous impotence of possibilities, thought patterns begin to walk. Punk is the walking stick, pop the walking hat. Dry German-language post-punk with jangling guitars and a driving rhythm section with its own noisy directness, which is not so common in this country, as well as really good lyrics, which is not a matter of course in German. The oscillation between dancy UK school and American 90s noiserock as a marginal influence, as well as the coolness and punk credibility somewhat copied from Hamburg, makes the band an absolute flagship in their sector. We can expect an emotional excursion about contemporary references, transformation processes and why the fist in the pocket has become so big that the seam is stretched to bursting. Order to all: Let it out and let it fly!
