Indirekt Grell + more - präsentiert von newbasement

In the organizer's words:

When post-punk becomes a term that conjures up a specific sound, it's half an indication that this sound is perhaps outdated. At moments like this, it's worth turning your gaze away from an entrenched urban band culture and instead paying attention to places where you wouldn't expect to hear this sound at all. And if you then happen to come across the blue cassette "ins Nichts", on which edgy guitars and math rock-like drum beats once met in a cellar in the Bavarian province of Bad Aibling, you feel something like fundamental hope again - a timeless attitude that bands like Sonic Youth have carried throughout their lives.

The band Indirekt Grell has already made a name for itself with numerous live shows. Two of them are brothers, and one plays bass. Their steady, natural connection and occasional basement get-togethers are reminiscent of footage from the Breadcrumb Trails documentary about Slint. They are the kind of classic trio that the DIY subculture needs - and at the same time one that doesn't settle for anything less than expression and even more courage. The words together form a body, and the sounds together are the chaos in the head - until everything becomes quiet again and space is created for new thoughts.

"ins Exil" is a kind of time capsule that indirectly preserves the live presence of the experimental punk trio. The second album consists of live recordings with words and sounds from the past years - fragments of song ideas that were created in a cellar in Ellmosen near Bad Aibling and put together into longer and longer tracks in the spirit of Krautrock / cosmic music. Playful, youthful and at the same time serious and raw - an almost Frankenstein-like image that reflects the spirit of experimentation within a post-punk attitude in the Bavarian province.
