Seelenluft - Out Of The Woods, August 26, 2011
This review is from: Out of the Woods (Audio CD)
In a way, you could call Seelenluft's second album, OUT OF THE WOODS, poppier than his first, but this in no way implies weaker material. Indeed, on the Elvis-sampling "L.A. Woman," he still shows his mastery of mood and sound. "Manila," in its various remixed forms, became a minor club hit, but the album version has a jazzy vibe, despite the young man singing about airplane disasters. But with the delicate, romantic "Aircondition," the album shows off a newfound confidence with lyrics. It's a lovely track. "Dancing Grandma," on the other hand, indulges in a bit of funk, and "The Evil Frog" is a dark parable about fame, God, and the Devil (though it falls firmly on the side of Satan). The angular, fascinating "Yoa Gongla" takes a Vietnamese folk song and transforms it into a mysterious journey.
