New CD by STAHLBERGER/Rägebogesiedlig
14 songs about Switzerland, vignettes about the absurdities of everyday life in a small country full of
mountains and small bizarre incidents: like global
warming or people eating raw fennel on commuter
trains.
Dive in if you want to get a healthy dose of Swiss
German - some knowledge of German is helpful.
New CD by LUMI: All these things
Snow falls, a dog barks
Wheels of steel on metal rails
Sunrays on the fur of a cat
A wheat field sways in the wind
A child and ist toy
Goodbye on platform three
A cloud the shape of a ship
Sails on by in a sea of blue.
Lumi are the musical equivalent of ‚slow food’. Where other might go for fast food, they want to enjoy their meal slowly to savour all its flavours. As slowly and steadily as a snow flake.
Lumi is the singer Ndaja Stoller and they keyboard-player Oli Kuster. On „All These Things“, they take you on enchanted trip, linking stray thoughts, vague images and dreamlike sequences.
These songs develop at their kitchen table or in their rehearsal room, on trips to Palagnedra or Seelisberg.
Lumi’s musical home i jazz music, but they want to expand ist borders.
Their music is warm, childlike, charming, gently grooving and strangely captivating.
Lumi is the Finnish word for „snow“.
LUMI will be released 06.03.09
