about

“Slotmachine feat. Aydo Abay” 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.

lyrics

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

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. You can literally hear the calm before the storm in every break they build up, then feel the force of the wind in your face when it hits you. ... more
