Song Of The Month - November '14

Hello again my friends, stalkers and everybody else. I'll always find some excuses for my low posting activity. Right now there are exams going on. Later there will be Christmas, New Year and for January I'll find some excuses, too. But I promise to write about at least two concerts this month. But not in English. Sorry.

The current song of the month is so fresh, it could as well be called "Song of The Week". This time it is Sizarr's  "Scooter Accident". If you watch the video it might remind you of the movie "The Place Beyond The Pines" (with Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes). That's because it is in fact a reference to it. I don't want to spoil anything, but in the music video you will see a guy walking around a funfair, but he doesn't seem to have any fun at all. Then he gets out, on his motorcycle, drives through a forest and then...

The song and the video are made for each other. At the beginning it's calm, the velvety and soulful voice of Fabian Altstötter is asking some questions and as the singing stops, the rhythm speeds up. It gets slower, again singing, again speeding up and THEN there is both - exciting rhythm and the voice. At the same time something dramatic happens in the video. The end is more dramatic, though. There are squeaky sounds and an abrupt ending, not only of the music.

All in all the song consists of many changes between slow and fast parts, which makes it interesting and exciting. But Sizarr always make interesting music that seems to have many different influences. Maybe they are the German version of Alt-J. Maybe not. Who cares. You don't. You just want the song. Here you go.

P.S. Their next album will be released in February 2015.
