As "Psychedelic/Intuitive/Mongrel Music" the Kammerflimmer Kollektief classifies his new album on his website. The same applies to the predecessor "Wildling". And indeed "Teufelskamin" continues his style: decently arranged tracks driven by subtle drum and bass loops with warm guitar chords, disturbing guitar noises, bright and dark piano swabs, but also with clarinet, drumsticks, harmonium, bells and of course electronics and alienations as icing on the cake. Chaos rarely breaks out. Almost everything is well dosed and the sparse vocals of Heike Aumüller form another timbre. "Teufelskamin" is already the ninth album of the Karlsruhe project. Remarkable is the track "Teufelskamin Jam #1": With two bass tones, dull tom-toms, jingle and piano, this is the minimal jazz version of Pink Floyd's "Careful With That Axe, Eugene". But what is "Mongrel Music" anyway?
