One day in the noughties Exo Neutrino
stumbled across a bunch of five valiant weirdos from the Hessian
hinterland, and through that, for a short time, a new star flashed
and sparkled at the skies of psychedelic Krautsalat. The fearless
sextet – which later called itself Lords of Kraut - came
together at the stage of a former, very big discotheque near the
small city Marburg, somewhere at the edge of no-where. It was a place
where village dancing and weekly hoedowns had happened some years
ago. Now it was orphaned and empty but the complete furniture was
still standing there! Inspired by the strange atmosphere of this
unique place, the Lords christened it to the name "the Church of
Noise" and began to release the loads of their completely
different musical tastes and interests onto each other.
The music that emerged from this was a
mixture of freely improvised, psychedelic „krauty“ soundscapes
and roughly ralphed out compositional ideas of one or the other of
the Lords. Exo was lucky enough to capture most of their music on a
mini-disc-recorder. Later he added some sound-producing and cut the
tracks to the privately released CD-R „... bite!“ which now is
available through Bandstand. More refinement of the material failed
due to the short living of the project. On the other hand one could
say it was just the roughness and crudity, the freshness and
virginity that gave the Lords their unique and distinctive sound! But
form your own opinion about that and give the Lords a faithful
listening right here!
