Episode 58: KARLA KVLT
from Whatever Comes Next with Tom Osman · host Tom Osman
Hamburg, Germany's KARLA KVLT blend the percussive power of early Swans, the doomy, droning proto-metal of Black Sabbath and the hypnotic tones of vocalist/ bassist Teresa Matilda Curtens (coming across like some kind of shoegaze/dream-pop singer, if the dream were apocalyptic). Father and son, guitarist (and former EISENVATER frontman) Markus E. Lipka and drummer Johann Wientjes (who also plays with wife Curtens in MELTING PALMS) join me to discuss Thunderhunter, the very different musical worlds of their other projects, recording techniques and the changing musical landscape in Hamburg.
