Löwenzahnhonig

Description

Löwenzahnhonig sounds as if someone turned down the tempo of pop music to give it room to breathe again. Guitar lines sneak through the window like sunbeams, the bass is a patient narrator, and the drums prefer to think in landscapes rather than in beats.
The music of this Swiss instrumental band is a poetic slowing down. When you listen to it, you recognize fleeting shadows of Khruangbin, whose guitar lines seem to be on a time-travel journey. But Löwenzahnhonig counter this with something of their own: a kind of Alpine Zen surf, dreamy yet precise. The term "retro" aims at nothingness. What this music does is archaeological. It excavates something that was buried under layers of volume and pressure of time. At times, Löwenzahnhonig reminds of the cinematic vastness of Tortoise, the wandering clarity of Yo La Tengo, the lonely landscapes through which Ry Cooder once sent his slide guitar. And so, one stands before this music like an old photo album in an attic: one doesn't know anyone, but still feels affected.
And those who experience Löwenzahnhonig live understand finally that this music is more than just a backdrop. With dreamlike certainty, the band modulates the tempo, lets pieces flow, pause, and expand like afternoon sunbeams. Their concerts are spaces of happiness – somewhere between somnambulic transcendence and relaxed danceability. Especially the latter finds more space on the second album than on the debut record. That’s exactly what makes the anticipation for the upcoming European tour so great: what Löwenzahnhonig achieves in the studio becomes a moving picture live. A concert like a time travel. And a band that is already earning its place in the memory of the present.
