Today, there’s something truly special for your ears!
No loud noise.
No anger in the belly.
Today, there’s music to actively listen to and engage with.
Today, there’s surf music!
Whoever coined the term surf music, it primarily doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with surfing on boards in the water, but is characterized by the fact that there is little or no singing. This allows you to fully concentrate on the music. Surf music for surfing thoughts. Surf to your dreams...
The Danish band with the amusingly cryptic name THE TREMOLO BEER GUT presents sixteen tracks with their new album “You can´t handle,” taking the willing listeners on a journey. A journey to film locations, a journey into the 50s, 60s, and 70s, a journey into the time of good old rock’n’roll, a journey that can lead to dreamland, to your own dreamland.
The music is mostly focused on the guitar and the accompanying effects. The drums form the reliable rhythm section, which is essential for this kind of music. Timing is also of great importance, especially in the slow, heavy parts. These parts can transport you, depending on your imagination, to a Western town, where the dust sweeps lonely across the sandy main street. It seems no one is home, nowhere. But it’s not entirely certain; maybe someone is lurking somewhere, perhaps someone has it in for you. The wooden porch creaks with every step of the heavy boots...
The music could serve as the soundtrack for a new Western, a Western-noir.
The dark atmosphere is just one facet of the music.
Other songs bring good cheer, with lively, even catchy melodies.
Other songs, such as “Hey Hello,” even play a bit with eroticism.
There are almost 40 minutes of playtime on the new release. For these 40 minutes, one can and should forget the world around them and immerse themselves in the music and the power of the images it can evoke.
If you still don’t know what the writer is trying to convey, the music of Berlin guitarist Tex Morton is recommended. He has also released several recordings of his own music, most recently the 7” vinyl “Speedway Maniac.” The review of the record is online at ramtatta.de and can be accessed via the following link: https://www.ramtatta.de/s/reviews/f/details/id/3630/
This music also comes without any vocals and is not unlike the music of THE TREMOLO BEER GUT.
