KNUSPERKEKS~ SELF TITLED LP
Label: ZickZack
Catalog#: ZZ 185
Format: Vinyl, 12" Mini album 45
Country: Germany
Year: 1983
Condition (Cover): EX+ (I would really grade this higher, but cover has come *unglued due to age. Unglued- NOT a seam split! You can easily glue it back together, but I will leave that to you (about 4 inches on top and virtually all of bottom.) Other than this issue, this is as nice a copy as you will find, see the photos, the cover looks gorgeous. Free of ringwear, just has a couple vintage stickers on back and a couple teensy marks.
Condition (Vinyl): EX (glossy vinyl, clean labels!)
Mega rare Knusperkeks record on the brilliant ZICKZACK label. I love this record sooo much, it will be hard to let it go. The music is amazing and so ahead of it's time- I've never heard anything else exactly like it (its quite different from other Zickzack bands!) Knusperkeks is a German chocolate bar and for some reason this music reminds me of a perverse Hansel and Gretel nightmare sort of....
A riot of unusual instrumentation like accordions, suitcase percussion and with slightly discordant acoustic guitar... the songs are peppered with creepy German vocals and haunting melodies. Some of the tracks lean more towards dark neo-folk and some of them are more experimental with a toy quality. The music is heartbreakingly beautiful and strange. The whimsical quality reminds me of M'um- without being as soft.
