Sometimes you discover records out of the blue, you don´t expect
anything from but surprisingly still charm you. Such a record was
last year´s album “Hier unten ist LoFi” (“Down here is Lofi”)
by _pappmaché.
Now Christoph Kohlhöfer alias _pappmaché (who is supported by drummer
Tobias Noormann on stage) created “Arriéregarde”, his second album.
“Hier unten ist LoFi” should have prepared for this kind of
beautiful songs, but the second record is as charming as the debut.
Soft melodies coupled with often melancholic, sometimes angry and
always smart German lyrics, taken from life.
Christoph Kohlhöfer, living in Hamburg, is good in creating small
songwriter-pop-pearls, that are purified with electronic. Though you
could compare _pappmaché to several German artists it is not
necessary, as the songs on “Arriéregarde” are strong enough to
represent themselves.
