SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: THE IMPOSSIBLE GERMANY – THE IMPOSSIBLE GERMANY EP

THE IMPOSSIBLE GERMANY
THE IMPOSSIBLE GERMANY EP
FORMER AIRFIELD

Why do you name your band after a Wilco song? And why do you have a self-titled EP and it is not your debut? And after all, what just might be “Industrial Gospel”?

There are quite a few other questions you could ask Berlin-based Sean Galloway, a musician and former member of Los Angeles’s TV Heads and Northern California’s The Shimmies, and Alex Kozobolis, an Anglo-Greek, Brighton/London-based musician and visual artist, mostly known for solo piano compositions and artist portraits.

Actually, the duo already had three previous single releases, all included here, along with two more, but there is not anything out of the ordinary. What just might be, is the quality of the five electronically tinged songs here, that the duo dubs as “Industrial Gospel.”

That Industrial just might be the use of electronics that at no point goes into overuse and that Gospel thing just might lead to the Wilco reference – focus on detailed, textured melodies Jeff Tweedy and his crew are also well known for, and for which Galloway and Kozobolis seem to have in spades too.
