Maximilian Hecker: Rose – COMPACT DISCS

Sophomore album for the German pop Casanova. ‘Rose’ is completely free of the ‘classic Brit-Pop influences’ as one could still hear them on the first album. Looking for comparisons you´d be tending more towards tracks by Sigur Ros, maybe also Simon and Garfunkel or even Suede. Maximilian has become more daring especially with his lyrics, very personal, exposed and denuding they´ve become, poetic and sensual. Produced by Gareth Jones who has worked with Depeche Mode, Moby, Goldfrapp, Wire, Erasure amongst others. Kitty-Yo. 2003.
