CARAMBOLAGE - Bon Voyage LP Spiritual Jazz

CARAMBOLAGE - Bon Voyage LP Spiritual JazzThe Bon Voyage recordings sound far more mature than the bands earlier music, whilst losing some of the playful insouciance that ran through the first two albums. Strains of ska and chanson complement the latter day NDW (German new wave) flavoured power pop. After four successful years of extensive touring, new perspectives presented themselves to Carambolage. Having outgrown the somewhat languid Scherben scene and label life at David Volksmund

the Second City’s Stooges-inspired garage punk band split

The duo approached the mythos of the “classic album” from their own inimitable psych-pop perspective

the band's been locked in the basement

Talk about four young guns replete with the influences

from kosmische rock to futuristic speed metal to robo-balladry to variants on classic rock that are so warped as to be rendered completely unrecognizable

"The Odds" is the band's third full-length album - 13 songs recorded with Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios during the summer of 2012

the band has established a solid live reputation

the album possesses a newfound brevity and directness rooted in the excitement of creation

polished as yet unseen

By the time Starrs’ band created The Night Creeper in 2015

while the sidelong title track is as searching and poignant today as it was during its heyday
