Zurückt a step forward, and no

The Osnabrücker fun pirate to Mr. Hurley put her now before third studio album. After "charade" and Grog & Roll "Voodoo" now comes on 13 March 2015 in the trade. The band remains the chosen course of predecessor faithful. In 15 acoustic folk songs to sing about piracy, huge oceans, about women, and especially over rum.

A culinary earwig is not quite as tasty way offers the "shrunken head in rum". Here the cook of the proud Lightning who Smut is extolled. This has a great talent in drunkenness, and his cooking skills are legendary, legendary ... bad. "I look in my stew, and the stew looks back". With a good breeze Folk and a handful of irony the recipe for this song goes on full.

In "Voodoo" powder monkeys have immortalized some songs that could be an absolute highlight especially live. One of these brilliant, ironic song with catchy qualities is "Oh yeah ?! (comma ago!). The melody comes in the legs and remains in the ear. The text invites smile to sing along, and especially for a. Here live may well be on fun manner, be gepöbelt.

"Facial" is an ode to bearded sailors on the seven seas. Here, too, is an absolutely worthy celebration song. Quieter, slightly slower verses leave a short breather before the chorus again all tears from their seats to the dance floor.

Just like on the previous albums, we can also listen here, excited and amused, a story. In four parts, the powder monkeys tell us about "Blakes curse" This short radio plays have become a tradition and no longer think away from the albums.

A step forward, and not back - Mr. Hurley and the powder monkeys are an excellent folk party band. The mixture of ironic lyrics and catchy melodies have become a trademark of the pirates. The arrangements are far more sophisticated and more demanding than the previous albums. Although the powder monkeys probably (hopefully) will never be all grown up, but has the band evolved continuously since its debut and delivered with "Voodoo" a musically mature and appealing album.
