Binder&Krieglstein
Following Falco and Kruder & Dorfmeister Binder&Krieglstein put Austria again on world map of contemporary pop. For a while, the most hyped line-ups and projects on the Austrian music scene had names such as Kruder & Dorfmeister, Dzihan & Kamien, Pulsinger & Tunakan. These were simply the names of the movers and shakers who put the Vienna Sound on the music map in the 90s and came to represent a whole new pop/electronic image. So when the name Binder & Krieglstein appeared, it was bound to make you think that this was just another similar act jumping on the bandwagon. But whereas the Vienna Sound hides itself behind cold sound-design, Binder&Krieglstein shows us that he is a pirate of sounds combining catchy hooklines and wild melodies to real songs. This cosmopolitan attitude reminds us of Manu Chao and Beck rather than on representatives of Vienna Sound. This Shantel production joins electronic, bras madness and pop, reggae and hip-hop beats with smart German and English lyrics. The very name of Binder&Krieglstein itself encapsulates the wit and self-irony of Rainer Binder-Krieglstein from Graz (capital of Austria's south-eastern province of Styria). It may sound like a 'duo', but there's only one person behind it.
