A night forest on the video screen, the trees in the foreground illuminated brightly behind it unfathomable depth. Peel figures from the dark, go past the viewer from the picture, some pushing bicycles. This is a simple, rich synth bass line, indefinable percussion, claiming strumming and rattling the bumpy beat, gloomy mood. End of the first piece.
then goes on behind the video screen, a light, out of focus is the face of Schorsch Kamerun seen. The percussion kicks off, bass and synth a share, Cameroon begins a text to read. Prose, or whatever it is called now? Spoken Word in the No Wave-gown, avant punk, noise rock discourse, writing about associative dissonance?
It is Wednesday evening in the track 22, the Golden Lemon have come to their new album "The Origin of the Night" initiative. should we deal with expectations in the "Goldi" cautious - is the beer-soaked punk songs from the early days of the Hamburg not much left, the leather jackets they have long lost: It is clear. Instead, they wear bizarre costumes: Cameroon silk robe-esoteric, bassist Thomas Wenzel wearing a turban, drummer Enno with red devil ears and pumping arms - the slogan "Forever Punk" is indeed still, but now more as an intellectual denial in dress, words and music. There are still slogans and criticism of the system, it is about contradictions, discomfort, reflections of the consumer society and to escape from the world - "still an option," such as Cameroon emphasized.
sounds Accordingly, the music, a mixture of Kakophone Punk, Wave, Noise Rock, feedback, fiepsend-dissonant keyboards, analog synthesizers and strange recorders. You can lose now in interpretation attempts to dissect and interpret the texts - the "Goldi" is probably not much care. They are long beyond drawers and meaning assignments, as most references are good they own. There are texts in Cameroon, discover, of course, a lot!
But even those who simply gets involved only on the effect of music, everything right: the noise, allowing the happy dissonance of the fun thing about the deconstruction of harmony - it was so rare compelling as in the Golden Lemon.
