"Smoke+Fire," Neulander

Reviewed by Alex Slawson and Herman Snell

Based on their name, one might assume that Neulander are a German group. However, this neo-retro-electro duo reside in New York City. Actually, Korinna Koll [vocalist/chanteuese] is from Austria and Adam Peters [former keyboardist of Echo and the Bunnymen] is British. Neulander describe themselves as "The Human League doing battle with Neu." One listen to "Smoke+Fire" unveils an almost dream-pop tonality, with Korinna's sultry vocals floating in technicolor over the glitchy, loop based sonic textures. In any event, this release is disarmingly refreshing and a best of 2004 contender! For free streaming audio, go to their website and click on Neulander.
