\"CoverAlex Izenberg – \u201eHarlequin\u201c (Weird World)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mit \u201eHarlequin\u201c rettet sich Alex Izenberg hin\u00fcber in eine Welt, in der alles etwas simpler und sch\u00f6ner an der Oberfl\u00e4che war. Sein Deb\u00fct klingt nach einem Los Angeles ohne Skyline, in dem die Smogwolken regelm\u00e4\u00dfig zu Schulfrei f\u00fchrten, und in dessen Stadtteil Laurel Canyon talentierte Leute wie Joni Mitchell, die Byrds und The Mamas And The Papas gemeinsam abhingen, flirteten und stritten, und Softrock-Hits schrieben.<\/p>\n

Eine Welt, in der die Linie zwischen Gut und B\u00f6se augenscheinlich noch ganz klar war, und in der die heilige Pop-Dreifaltigkeit von Strophe, Hook und Refrain noch was z\u00e4hlte. Alex Izenberg ist nicht der einzige Nordamerikaner, dessen Songs sich an dieser gold-get\u00fcnchten Nostalgie bedienen. Auch Acts wie Whitney oder Kevin Morby und Tobias Jesso Jr. drehten dieses und letztes Jahr Einfl\u00fcsse zwischen Neil Young, Paul Simon und Scott Walker zu ihrem Guten.<\/p>\n

Im Gegensatz zu ihnen umgibt Alex Izenberg seine Person mit einer ebenso schleierhaften H\u00fclle wie seine Musik. Unter verschiedenen Pseudonymen will er in den letzten Jahren Musik gemacht haben. Leben tut er noch daheim oder zumindest in der N\u00e4he seiner Mutter in einer H\u00fcgellandschaft von Los Angeles und zu der F\u00fclle an bezaubernden Streicherpartien auf \u201eHarlequin\u201c sei es nur durch einen guten Freund gekommen, der Izenberg bei den Aufnahmen zur Seite stand.<\/p>\n

Dass \u201eHarlequin\u201c jetzt auf Weird World erscheint und Izenberg daf\u00fcr super Promo bekommt \u2013 alles nur Gl\u00fcck. Nicht mal um eine Band f\u00fcr eventuelle Auftritte h\u00e4tte er sich bisher gek\u00fcmmert. Ob der Typ in dieser Hinsicht wirklich null Kalk\u00fcl besitzt \u2013 wer wei\u00df. Seine Songs klingen alles andere als chaotisch, daf\u00fcr manchmal pittoresk-schunkelig (\u201eGrace\u201c), nachdenklich ausufernd (\u201eA Bird Came Down\u201c) oder hoffnungsvoll-euphorisch mit einem freundlichen Nicken in Richtung The Velvet Underground (\u201eTo Move On\u201c).<\/p>\n

\u201eHarlequin\u201c versammelt eine Reihe sanfter und einnehmender Arrangements zwischen Baroque Pop und Folk Rock, ausgestattet mit dem minimalistischen Charme der Indie-Gegenwart.<\/p>\n
