The Foreign Correspondent Returns

Long followers of this little place in the internet will know that I feature German bands from time to time. Not as a regular series but sometimes a (new) band appears on the scene that is worth to be featured - also in foreign countries. The recent days International Music released their first album Die Besten Jahre (The Best Years). It is a very unique sound. Reducing songs to their minimum to compose anew tones and sounds. It is like Jesus And Mary Jane meeting Can and F.S.K. for a record session. Above all floats in some songs a hardly handy, almost Shanty-like melancholy which one heard thus - quite differently - seldom in German music. It also seems like the mustache returns.
