Deine Lakaien
Dual (2lp)
Deine Lakaien are a German cultural icon. With their tenth studio full-length, 'Dual', classically educated composer and pianist Ernst Horn and vocalist Alexander Veljanov present a conceptual double album, which connects both full-lengths by a double reference. Half of the double album consists of ten songs that this duo have crafted with particular artists or songs in mind that have been important for the duo's musical evolution. These sources of inspiration are made clear on the second album of 'Dual', which features ten cover tracks that range from Cat Stevens' classic 'Lady d'Arbanville' via Jacques Brels melancholic 'La Chanson Des Vieux Amants' to Kate Bush's 'Suspended In Gaffa' and even the Linkin Park song 'My December'. Each of these renditions has been translated into the Germans' unmistakable soundscape. Limited colorued vinyl.
