After a long break from working on new Karma material, the Cologne based duo (known for the classic "High Priestess") is now presenting "Latenight Daydreaming", their first new in seven years. Great pop songs influenced by Carole King, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Brian Wilson, Hall & Oates, Lovin' Spoonful, Terry Callier, Earthy Folk, library sounds, soundtracks, The Zombies or J Dilla. After careful assembly in a studio somewhere in the enchanting German Westerwald, their new album, "Latenight Daydreaming", is in your hands. It has been crafted with a little help from fine vocalists Michelle Amador, Oezlem Cetin and Jerome Stokes (based in San Francisco, Hamburg and Manchester respectively) and displays a new facet to their sonic explorations: Pop music with a certain deepness. After challenging the club music of the early to mid 90s combining club music with jazz influences, making the transition via drum n bass and downtempo soundscapes, you now hold a perfect pop record in your hands. Taking the cue from cuts by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Carole King, Hall & Oates, Brian Wilson, Lovin' Spoonful, Creed Taylor, Marcos Valle, the Zombies, Jay Dilla, Terry Callier, Linda Lewis and Soundtrack/Library music, amongst a host of others. Smooth orchestral elements, a nod to neo soul and jazz instrumentation, Earthy Folk elements and a curtsy to the waltz, recalling the virtuosity of classic pop albums of the late 60s and early70s...
