Unplaces

UNPLACES instinctively melts the cool minimalism of electro with the usual rock band instruments to an inseparable organism. The formation from Bochum and Hannover, consisting of Dorette Gonschorek, Petra Franetzki and Daniel Fasold creates song after song of hymnal character with masterful ease, unimpressed by possible genre limitations. Upgrading the synthesizer to their formative stylistic device, the trio combines danceable trip hop beats based on E-Bow guitar chords with melancholic singing and even manages to include atypical instruments into their electro wave rock, such as a trumpet, which established itself as a remarkable feature in their live shows. With deep devotion and free compositions and structures, the band matches the atmospheric tension of each song with the meditative social-political lyrics, leading to a tight symbiosis of both elements.
