They met at school, growing-up listening to Bob Marley, Hendrix and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to name but a few. Getting together to make music in the early days was less about plotting global success, it was instead more about having fun. One of their first songs, however, quickly changed things - it was Stolen Dance. More specifically it was a unique sounding folktronica song that spanned across most commercial and alternative radio playlists across the globe. That moment they uploaded it to Youtube was about six years ago, but the fact it’s one of the most Shazamed songs of all time tells you all you need to know.
After the success of Sadnecessary and Blossom, their third album Mind the Moon is nothing less than the distillation of their songwriting spirit. While they started off with a smooth, minimalist sound, their second album added distinguished layers that any muso could appreciate. Mind the Moon succeeds in embodying this paradox and sees Dausch and Rehbein achieve the transition from a fairy tale pop phenomenon to the truly gifted songwriters that they’ve always been. The new tracks are an easy listen with catchy melodies and a laid-back vibe – but there is depth that hooks the listener beyond the first impression. How much depth can a light-hearted pop song actually have? “Mind the Moon” gives you the answer. Like its forerunner “Blossom,” the album was produced with Tobias Kuhn.
