New Dreiviertelblut album: No song without an ambush

The exciting album "Diskothek Maria Elend" by Dreiviertelblut will be released this week.

It comes with nasty surprises.

It is the primal fear of so many children: the invisible monster under the bed, clawing at the wood with its claws so that it creaks and creaks.

The eerie theme of the ballad "Unter deim Bett" is symbolic of the new Dreiviertelblut album "Diskothek Maria Elend".

There is no song on it without an ambush, there is always a nasty or at least dark surprise lurking somewhere.

No wonder with the man behind the lyrics of the self-proclaimed “folklore-free folk music band”: Sebastian Horn has proven for more than 30 years as a bassist that he has a penchant for the bizarre and fantastic, that he likes to write songs about silverfish and underwater queens and singer of the Bananafishbones.

From 2013 he worked together with the film music composer Gerd Baumann (“He who dies earlier is dead longer”, “Almanya – Welcome to Germany”).

Baumann, co-founder of the Munich indie label Millaphon, also composed the Nockherberg Singspiel between 2013 and 2017.

Dreiviertelblut has been a real name since the appearance for refugee helpers on Odeonsplatz in 2015.

"Mia san ned nur mia" became the anthem of openness to other cultures.

Singer Sebastian Horn talks about the new Dreiviertelblut album

Horn's Bavarian sung, spoken and sometimes rapped stories come not only from his imagination - but also from his biography.

In "Odlgruamschwimmer" he thanks a seven-year-old girl who freed him from a liquid manure pit when he was a child and thus saved his life.

When the "Boandlkramer" treats himself to a Bloody Mary at the bar at the cemetery party, that's more of a fiction.

In contrast to the creative experiment "13 Minutes": Horn imagines the last moments of the Nazi resistance fighter Georg Elser in a cell of the Dachau concentration camp.

The first single release "Wos leftover" also awaits with atrocities: "Dei Voda a Dregsau, dei Muada a Schlang, dein Briada, sie meng di daschlong", Horn sings in a deep, warm voice of the cold abysses of broken families.

For some, this album may be too spooky, dark and bloodthirsty, despite some mood-enhancing lyrics.

Musically it is full of tension from song one to eleven.

Solemn trumpet melodies à la Haindling get along well with dirty e-guitars.

The band's parlor music origins harmonize with danceable off-beat numbers.

"Diskothek Maria Elend" is bursting with positively crazy creativity.
