SOFA SURFERS - Scrambles, Anthems And Odysseys

"It's an album for the 21st century. It's about today, it's about yesteryear and about the future. We scramble for land, food and cover. We sing anthems for love, for hope and for hate. We are, like it or not, travelling together on the same journey and we all arrive, sooner or later. Come find our common frequency and vibrate, gyrate and elevate!" Dark Worlds vs. Emotions With their new album, Scrambles, Anthems and Odysseys, the Sofa Surfers have created a sometimes dystopian, sometimes hope-filled parallel reality. They take us to musical places that were already discernable on the horizon early in their careers, but which they have only now attained so uncompromisingly. Uninhibited, dark drones and sci-fi synthesizers enter an alliance with gripping composition and excellent vocals. More than ever, the band allows itself to feel emotions - deeply and strongly. Massive trap and electro beats meet up with rave references and subtle hints of the 80s - and with Mani Obeya’s intoxicatingly clear voice, wonderful beautiful precisely when needed, weaving the strings of the tales told with taught precision. Soulcat E-Phife is a genius counterpart. The Viennese rapper drives the tempo up, supporting the Sofa Surfers with her unaccustomed emotional approach. The most astounding thing about the band’s eighth studio album release? The courageous melodies, the commitment to emotion. You have never heard the Sofa Surfers be so uncompromising. Unusual? Yes - and it’s a damned good thing. Record Label: Monoscope Productions Style: Independent
