Spot offers as usual 100% Attwenger that stronger the band is clearly in the Autenzität who care about any conventions and expectations. Although their music has changed a lot over the years, they have remained true to their independent moderate approach. "Spot" is now already the eighth album of Austria may not be successful but certainly most important music export!
The lyrics are accustomed Dadaist and krytisch, at second glance quite profound, but if it has to be quite right! The criticism seems again by more than Flux. The album makes clear relatively quickly that Attwenger are in the world at home, do not think in drawers and can not be easily influenced - in principle therefore have two very intelligent people.
What has also hinted at "Flux", the times ausufender Distortion-Origen and instrumental parts are gone, the songs come quickly to the point and are kept emphasizes short. The 12 songs are interspersed with 11 jingles with usually under a minute.
Musically there are familiar things and new. With the intro / outro Duo "Kana Daham" and "Kana Alla" two flawless Techo tracks have sneaked onto the album. The hard beat on "Kana Daham" is strongly reminiscent of "hanger". In between there are all sorts of things, partly inspired by "Flux", partly to older Albem. Overall I would describe the album as a touch quieter. Attwengers basic recipe remains the same, it is pretty much everything that the musical cosmos has processed fairly minimalistic, so the result is grooving really good. A composition or arrangement is actually completely useless anyway.
Particularly worth listening I find Kana Daham, Woed, Oida, Immernu, Heid scho ... keiesfalls you should however get access einzielne songs, please listen through the whole album! It is worth it!
The album is not the big surprise, but it's Attwenger and it's damned good!
