Oum Shatt

In the artist's words:

Six years ago, Oum Shatt released a highly acclaimed debut album, which led from the Song of the Year award at Radio Eins for "Gold To Straw" and in the TAZ Popblog for "Power To The Women Of The Morning Shift", a feature on the BBC to acclaimed performances at South By Southwest in the USA, the French Transmusicales Festival or the Electric Picnic in Ireland.

Now the Berlin-based band - consisting of singer and songwriter Jonas Poppe, founding member Chris Imler on drums, guitarist Richard Murphy and Rémi Letournelle on bass and synthesizer - are back with a second album that even surpasses their debut. Where Oum Shatt combined American surf with Greek rembetika music, no wave and oriental influences there, here they fan out their sound even further.
