Reviewing S/T: Self-Titled (Klangbad EFA 64026-2)
It’s surely an accident, but the work of Frankfurt duo S/T bears a striking similarity to what you’ll hear at a screening of The Rocky Horror Show. It’s Martin Brauner’s vocals that do it, words that are half-spoken, half-sung against a swirling, extended hypnotic synthesised drone that The Warlocks would be proud of; at the risk of putting you off, it sounds more like Frank N. Furter fronting The Doors with every play. If this were their only trick you’d be right to worry, but Self Titled emerges as the product of an idealised 1967, the real sound of psychotropics working their dark magic. These sounds and emotions - the dislocation ‘O In Yr Blood, the temporal voyaging of The Silly Season - were impossible to recreate back then, but their time has finally come.
