CARLO KARACHO

NNDW / Post-Punk / Wave concert at KESSELHAUS

Carlo Karacho emerged from the pulsating and no less confusing Berlin sound cosmos a few years ago with his debut EP "CM Isolation". Without warning, the sound tinkerer catapulted the peaks of Neue Deutsche Welle, in this case meaning a bit of German-American friendship and pinches of Holger Hiller here, delicate 808s and Detroit electro vibes there, into the present and reached the level of the once world-famous legends right off the bat. Karacho brings together things that have always belonged together, but have recently been far too rarely heard together. The buxom DIY productions of this self-ironic jack-of-all-trades are characterized by an almost extravagantly melodic flair that is almost impossible to learn: it's either there - or it's not. Spontaneity over economy, so to speak. For his latest album "Wir sind nicht die Jedi die Sie suchen" (We are not the Jedi you are looking for), he arranged to meet people from the mysterious collective Torn Palk on eBay and started jamming. Together they recorded ten tracks in just five days, which, between post-punk, new wave and classic NDW vibes, provide the perfect soundtrack for the absurdities of our late capitalist era.
