Album Info
The Story behind .... „The Dorset Songs“ Max & Laura Braun are siblings, who have been making music together since their teenage years, - now some time ago. The years and life have separated them. Max has stayed in Germany while Laura has made London her home. But despite the distance they keep making music together. In the rainy late summer of 2008 they spent a few days in one of their favourite places, a little village in Dorset, England, writing and working out new songs together again after a few years of working on other projects. The intimate recordings of “The Dorset Songs” were made in London upon their return from the countryside in only one day. They were initially meant only as a demo, however their direct and reduced sound is what makes them special. With their few homemade copies gone and under the continued pressure of friends Max and Laura decided to release the recordings on a bigger scale. The simple instrumentation of acoustic fingerstyle guitar and vocals often sung in harmony as well as the melancholy lyrics create a folksy mood. However elements of a jazzier nature also play a part in this duo’s style. Laura’s voice has a soft and old-fashioned quality reminiscent of 1950's vocal jazz, which together with the harmonic intricacy of Max’s guitar playing takes their music beyond folk and into a realm of its own. Inspired by the music director Michael Fragstein, of Büro Achter April, made a hauntingly beautiful animated video to Max and Laura’s song "Hat", which will be seen at festivals across Europe this year.gogoyoko recommends:
