The Oxhorn Music Mix

Two basses twist together, playing out a deep, low groove. Chimes are heard in the distance. Up come the drums. Oh, Contorted Face of Mercury, what secrets do you hold? You twist back upon yourself, with grace and elegance. A snake stalks its prey, prepares to strike. Taughtly coiled, all energy and wicked intelligence.

The Roots of Orchis hint at the knowledge of good and evil, with a poison that seeps into your system, slowly drags you down into its melodic embrace. You are drawn to the drums of war. The diner bells rings, your mind a serpent’s feast.

Sounds like the love child of: The Black Heart Procession and Cal Tjader

Wisps of sound flit like fireflies, Valerie Trebeljahr and Markus Acher’s (of the Notwist) voices mix syrupy, tender, but also monotone. They channel sentiment more than emotion, like the 8-bit soundscape that iterates to higher and higher resolutions of blips and bleeps.

The lyrics have the depth and simplicity of a haiku. Stark meaning builds through repetition. Despite the desolation, Lali Puna hints at hope, that there is still a reason to try.

Sounds like the love child of: The Notwist and Mouse on Mars
