Fools Garden - Rise And Fall

On their tenth studio album, the 1991 originating band from Pforzheim, presents themselves as very mature and versatile. Their current album Rise and Fall offers a variety of songs, which not only show themselves very independently, but also maintain classic-timeless qualities in composition, interpretation and arrangement.This time we let a very special discipline prevail in writing the songs,� says Freudenthaler. �A song could not be set aside until it was fully complete in its structure, so that it could later be recorded in our own studio.�It was an audibly effective as well as creative work process with impressive results!! The 14 melodious titles cover a wide range of styles. This can be seen in titles such as, the opulently arranged mid-tempo opus �I Burn� (reminiscent due to the falsetto chorus of a-ha or Coldplay), or there is the acoustic ballad �Marie Marie�, or the atmospheric, minimalist �All We Are�, which Freudenthaler dedicated to his son. And with the electronic vibe of �Still Running�, Fools Garden taps into new terrain!The counterpoints that make this musical diary a whole and share a hint of melancholy, on the in excellent, transparent-dynamic sound quality recorded CD, are the catchy acoustic guitar-supported �High Again� and the sing along tracks �Shame� and �Save the World Tomorrow�.And since they make their music on the basis of tried and true values, it is not surprising that in the up-tempo rocker �Boys�, they talk about the conformity of songs on the radio: �The radio is playing the same songs all the time, they stick in the rotation, send shivers down my spine. I don�t feel connected.� If the monotony of the airwaves leaves you cold or is even a bore, Fools Garden is a diverse alternative with their new Album �Rise and Fall�.
