Grandiose! 5

Granted, our Austrian neighbors, the indie pop area, for some time exciting bands at the start. Now also one that is perhaps time to fill halls. In debut of Viennese band Wanda puts incredible power. In their homeland has hyped the band before 1 album. Not without reason. Hymn-like melodies, snooty wildness, flirting with the blasphemous pleasures of life and wallow in the shadows. Very Austrian, but more international than any other German-language debut, which I have heard in the last 10 years. The "Viennese charm" I do not figure it indeed quite, but still the band convinced lyrically, as the poetic "The fact that it has ever given us" especially shows.

Italy is ever allgegenwertig. Not only did the album Amore is the first song and Bologna. Even the singer's voice reminds me of the notoriety of Adriano Celentano, although at Wanda significantly longer bawled.

And, to get as Austrians apparently not but clearly is of course Falco out listening. In the case of Wanda is its emphasis, his arrogance, a little subliminal is at Wanda as the prototype.

Is to promise that you can not get some of the songs heard after the 1st time out of your head. Overall: a great debut. I'll listen for a long time!

Playing tips: Bologna, when I'm 20, it that has ever given us, I want liquor!
