Die Schacht - Halber Selbstebetrug 7"

This contemporary Berlin outfit's musikalische klange is so perfectly informed by the bare-knuckled scrappers of the Neue Deutsche Welle fringe that one might half-expect to find a matrix for Pure Freude, Rondo or Moderne Musik Tontrager scratched into the runoff. But, no, it's here, it's now, and it's the first German release ever on Siltbreeze. If the frenzied staccato of S.Y.P.H., Das Name or Mittagspause is what helps goose the lederhosen up the legs, then Die Schacht's gurgling oink is the perfect lube to slap them around the hips. Pressed in an edition of 300 copies.
