Kamerakino – Paradiso (CD/LP)

036_cover

Release: 29.09.2003
Cat#: Gomma 036 CD/LP

“We play square chamber-pop-music for people who live in single-rooms”

Kamerakino is a band from Germany with members from Berlin, Munich, Russia, Spain, Scotland and Turkey. It’s the former band of Franz Ferdinand’s guitar player Nick McCarthy who co–founded the band when he was living in Munich and played on the album. Kamerakino’s debut album reminds us of the 20ies, the 50ies, or 60ies – we associate things like cabaret, chansons, gipsies, dadaism, poetry, the balkan, mods and femmes fatales. You can imagine Berlin’s subculture back in the 20ies, but still there is a touch of dirty garage rock, no wave, disco to it.
