Review: Conic Rose - Wedding (Conic Rose)

The release of Conic Rose's new album is like wedding, a time of celebration and all are invited!

You'll recall that three years ago we had the first singles from their debut album 'Heller Tag' (see review HERE) and we've kept an eye open for them ever since.

The single 'loving parents' came out recently (see review HERE) and they are still covering the influences of the "Kruder & Dorfmeister and Cinematic Orchestra's lovechild, this collection of jazzy, ambient, hip-trippy electronica OST instrumental with more Bonobo and Nils-Petter Molvaer!" it's easy to see why the BBC 6 Music gang of Gilles Peterson, Lauren Laverne and Nemone are fans.

With the album, there unique take on jazz, infused with seemingly disparate influences like Radiohead and the local Berlin techno/electronic scenes, particularly 'too many flowers' and the title track, reaches out to folky broken beat, Herbert, ambient, alt.rock, dub, psych-types

I hope they get some live gigs in churches as well as normal venues when they go on tour to promote the album as it's said, "'Wedding 'describes a state of being".

The 12 tracks are equally to touchstone to Miles' 100 birthday celebrations as trumpeter (and flugelhorn) Konstantin Döben is clearly influenced and having Bertram Burkert on electric guitar gives us a Fripp-ness which suits their Berlin 'Station ot Station' base/surroundings or even Dave Okumu with The Invisible's debut which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize way back in 2009.

Without a doubt, this is an exceptional album and for fans of jazzy electronica it's a must!
