JULLANDER
John Symmes' Welt (cd)
After a couple of 7" and one 10", Jullander finally arrive to a full length.
Musically, “John Symmes’ Welt” consists of four equal, but distinct voices that complement each other and yet allow each other to be heard. You can sense that the people here have made an agreement and set off on a common path.
With two guitars, a bass and drums, Jochen Brandt, Arne Kittler, Andi Schoon and Jens-Rainer Berg conceive and mold their songs, with occasional support on saxophone by Philip Andernach.
Jullander play beautiful music that is perfectly aware of itself.
Their calmer pieces with strange melody lines can remind you sometimes on Dianogah or Couch, others, somewhat bulkyer brings to mind June of 44 or Paul Newman, but don't even think that this is enough to describe their sound.
Their sound is really their own - unique melodies, stylish singing, jazz skillfulness and pop qualities you shouldn't miss.
