| Price: $12.98 |
The band DEPHAZZ (formerly De-Phazz) is well known in Europe with six previous albums under their belt and an extensive touring schedule. Clever and campy, downbeat and jazzy, their albums have garnered two Echo award nominations (German Grammys) and numerous top ten/twenty chart positions in Germany but they have only released two albums stateside (on Watermusic Records). They have licensed music for many commercial ad campaigns throughout Europe and have appeared on over 150 compilations worldwide.
“Days of Twang” is considerably more pop/rock driven than their previous releases and is guided by the retro viewpoint of bandleader Pit Baumgartner’s musical roots. An incredibly catchy and listenable record, it’s a throwback to the nearly obsolete notion of an “album”.
Featuring longtime vocal collaborators Barbara Lahr, Pat Appleton and Karl Frierson, this collection spans genres and moods for a truly intoxicating experience.
"a bag of goodies full of intelligent musical references and hot grooves to dance to. ... Pit never gave up his strange humor which appears in fantastical sounds and sarcastic lyrics ... for the sake of a commercial sound" ~ FINANCIAL TIMES GERMANY (record of the week)
"you can buy this record blind" ~ FREE FM (record of the week)
