personal stereo

about

PERSONAL STEREO - this name stands for four students from weimar, germany, who started off as a band in early 2004, and who succeeded in quickly developing their very own sound, catchy yet clearly recognizable, crossing the furrows in the vast field of alternative rock full of confidence. personal stereo's music is personal (as one should guess), emotional, and intense; yet at the same time subtle and very relaxed, characterized by alex' empathic voice and a distinct feel for the right nuances of mood to suit the respective lyrics. at times they rock with all their might, as in the head-up-hymn 'change', to counter the paralyzing nostalgic attitude of looking back instead of forward. at times they make use of singing guitar and bass lines to create the unique atmosphere of serene melancholy which, in 'can't remember', renders obsolete any attempt to ask for an absolute meaning. even the crystal-clear i-want-out statement of 'air' is wrapped into a floating, dreamy arrangement which reaches the core of the 2005 state of mind much better than the usual impulsive criticism could - to be experienced on personal stereo's first, self-produced cd 'backscale', released in april 2005.
