OK I admit it: I'm sitting in the car at night, turn off the engine and then running in the Radio 2 tracks from Sophie Hunger`s "Monday's Ghost". Unlike some other reviewers, I was probably well prepared in order to allow the immense vitality, rigor, simplicity and class of young Swiss flow into me undisturbed. After I then had the CD in my hands, I was skeptical whether this was also endure. Far from it. The whole CD is intense. Sophie and her musicians are close to the instruments and form a unity, build soundscapes on the simplest and most discreet partly means of sounds and harmonies that are timelessly in space, seep into memory and want to be heard again. The lyrics go deep ("Rise and Fall" is reminiscent of Nietzsche!) And / or then tear a back up plus a virtuoso on the precipice dancing voice with its own style and an expressiveness that makes the age of the singer minor matter. Keep it up! Oh: Bob Dylan may assign calmed his spirit seems to be truly immortal ...
