Gimme Data

This is the third full-length release from the data-pop duo Birgit Lehneis and Paul Heil aka Electro serge. After Whispertime and to Those I Hold Dear - two straight indietronics albums - Electro serge now leave guitars and chimes behind and take a turn on the data-highway. Machine-grooves along the road celebrate their electro heart and nostalgic robo-clichs dot the landscape. Evoking the classic tunes of Drexciya, Kraftwerk and Doppler effect, Gimme Data sounds freshly-generated via Pacman, run through machines driven by ideas and grounded by a cool attitude. Take some stripped-down beats, flavor them with some crystal-clear synthesizer hooks and don't forget a good amount of robot-soul. Despite the glittering sheen of electronics, their indie roots such as Dinosaur Jr.. and My Bloody Valentine can still be heard in their music. Self-confident sounds out of Bavaria with an international heart.
