about
Mona Mur & En Esch have been exuberant characters, in the music scene - carving out their own respective niches, as artists on the edge, always finding ways to push the musical envelope. With 120 Tage: The Fine Art of Beauty and Violence, the two come together to create an album that is true to its title, juxtaposing sensual energies amid a brutal array of industrial soundscapes. And yet, underlying each track is a series of dark and intense melodic counterpoints that will surely put many in the mind of the era of the Weimar Republic. Indeed, the songs "Surabaya Johnny" and "Der Song von Mandelay" feature elements originally composed by Kurt Weill and Bert Brecht, two writers most closely identified with this musical style of cabaret-influenced dark pop, and the ease with which Mona Mur and En Esch translate these songs into a flurry of guttural guitars, caustic drum programming, whimsical synthesizer loops, and oppressive industrial clamor - with hints of organ and piano for good measure - without sacrificing the darkly macabre and sensuous energies of the originals is both disturbing and lovely." ILKER YÜCEL, Int. ReGen Magazin, 1/09 “ While the performance has an air of cool restraint throughout, there's also a distinct feeling of seething passions just under the surface. Mona Mur gives us a performance of Brechtian torch songs and slow-burning cabaret-influenced chansons, meticulously delivered with a chilled composure that at once establishes a distance between perform
