DOGPOP:JAHRMARKT DER VERLORENEN KINDER
[CD.2009]
Music beyond Angstpop - 85% perfect, but enjoyable to 97,5%
Long after all laughter had stopped, the showmen guided the last visitors out of the shabby fairground. Everybody was asleep and tired Earth wanted to hold it´s breathe. But stop!
What cold light is this, illuminating the old carousel? Who are all those dead children, daring to go round and round and round, to go circles in this night? Look! They make music on the remains of their ancestors! Unloved grandparents arise from their ashes, join hands and state once more:
Darling, they´re playing our song.
Six years have passed since the emerge of DOGPOP. Founded by the heads of Thorofon and Anenzephalia after a corporate performance, they released their first record „Popgod“ (POP1) in 2003. The debut´s wacky mixture of cut-up tracks, lo-fi electronica und cyncical, but intelligent and sometimes very dadaistic lyrics continues on their new longplayer „Jahrmarkt der verlorenen Kinder“ (UMB008 / POP3).
DOGPOP unintentionally turn out to be the consequent extraploration of German New Wave (e.g. Der Plan, Die tödliche Doris or early DAF). Tracks as the melancholic „Himmel Flieg (1-Schuss-Mix)“, „Weisser Klown“, „6er-Bahn“, the pumping „Filmriss im Festzelt“ or „Dogporn“ (a hommage to ´Popcorn´) are perfect candidates for Earth´s underground-dancefloors. The cover picture was taken Camille Sales (http://www.kda-design.co.uk).
DOGPOP, a bastard between the icons of Dada (as Kurt Schwitters) and the best analogue pop ever received, enters it´s second turn!
