Every minute at the break of dawn A shadow of a smile when you are gone Tomorrow comes to keep the motor clean I am somewhere, you are inbetween Destroy the clock to stop the time Swish every mountain I can´t climb I´m selling all the love that I don´t need And bite the hand that I can´t feed I`m the one that I am not Always talking, but never say a lot Touch the flame and I´ll tell a lie You won´t get burnt when you play with fire I´ll eat you up and spit it out All the pieces circling in my mouth I´m as faithful as a slot machine I´m a model made of plasticine I am somewhere You´ve never been I am somewhere You´ve never been Today is the day Come out and play I´m only a few steps away I´m passing by like yesterdays I´m on my way I´m on my way

about

Slot Machine feat. Aydo Abay, the second single from Oberst & Buchner’s upcoming album Marble Arch is settled in a colorful mixture of genres, styles and semblances to familiar sounds. The song floats between the sacred chanting of classic film soundtracks, 80’s disco basslines and vocoders, as well as pianos and reversed guitars derived from 2010’s alternative rock, a dramatic odyssey between Hans Zimmer, Pet Shop Boys and Radiohead. One can clearly hear the reference to the duo’s past as musicians in – and fans of – several indie post and progressive rock bands. Especially when the vocals of Aydo Abay, one of the most characteristic voices in German indie and alternative rock, well-known for being frontman of bands like Blackmail, Ken, Abay, Freindz or Musa Dagh, set in.
‚You are somewhere I am in between’ could be the words of the song itself, as it is hard to determine its classification. Nevertheless it all makes sense, as all the obscure elements form a harmonious interplay that is emotional and uplifting at the same time.

Mala Ika strips down the original to its bones and creates a sunrise soundtrack for early morning hours using a subtle bassline and a reduced drum set.
Wiener Planquadrat go the opposite direction with their remix by keeping many elements of the original and adding some aggressive acid lines for some extra pressure.
With two remixes rounding up the EP on both ends, the second single EP of Oberst & Buchner’s upcoming album pays tribute to their versatile musical past.

about

Oberst & Buchner Vienna, Austria

Boiled down to the very essence, there’s one common denominator running through the duo’s musical works: colossally massive elements are masterfully set against a shimmering backdrop of incredibly detailed layers.
