"White Lies"

(Chrom Records)

"The duo of Alexander & Ernst return w/ their latest treasure where the gap is bridged between the beauty of classical music w/ the romance of gothic & eighties new wave romanticism. It's quite difficult to pin point any certain songs because all of them are just so fantastic as all of the material leans towards a blaze of a baroque style provided by Ernst's lush medieval instrumentation, crafty electronics, brilliant piano melodies, & Alexander's deep, haunting vocals on seductive ballads like "Wunderbar", "Generators", "Kiss", "Hands White (Mane Bianchi)" which features female backing vocals. "Stupid" is reminiscent of early Depeche Mode w/ a more schizophrenic & twisted attitude while "Life is a Sexually Transmitted Disease" (who can argue w/ that?) shouts out its dark anthem in all its apocalyptic grandeur. This is absolutely brilliantly spellbinding music & highly recommended to all. Naturally, these guys should be huge!" [-Marcos-]
