The MEANWHILE PROJECT LTD is back - almost four years after MARSEILLE, a new long player from the Cologne project is released.
The duo around MARCELL BIRRECK and MARCUS ADAM has now grown into a five-piece band, which presents the new album in the usual opulent and complex way with the support of other guest musicians.
SIR MANDRILL once again offers a lush palette of different styles that skilfully mix with each other. Here too, chansons, folk, post pop, indie rock, alternative, ambient and much more merge into a big whole that seems absolutely harmonious all together. Influences from bands as diverse as dEUS, Motorpsycho, the Villagers and Calexico flash here and there.
And the impressive voice of singer MARCELL alternately wraps everything in a warm coat, admonishing, pleading, shaking up and calming from one moment to the next.
