We found out that its very healthy for us and keeps us feeling good too, to come back home to Kassel where we’re surround by all our families. The last three or four years… all that crazy stuff happened to us very fast - all that touring, being on the road for several months and seeing so many different places, it’s like a rollercoaster. Last year we played three of the songs, as a preview, just to seem some reactions you know? We’ll play like 70% new stuff and 30% old stuff, a mixture.ĭo you guys still live in your hometown, Kassel?Ĭlemens: Yeah we still live here, we haven’t moved. This is the first time we’re actually playing most of the songs from the new album on a real tour. We’ve just been in Kassel doing rehearsals for the last few days, we’re preparing for the shows and working everything out.
What are you guys getting up to in the last few days before the tour?Ĭlemens: The tour starts in London where we have our first show.
Blossom ends with “Heartless” which echoes the same raspy strained vocals and difficult emotions of “Feathery,” the final track of Sadnecessary.īefore the release of Blossom, and it’s accompanying Before Blossom tour, I hopped on the phone with vocalist and guitar player Clemens for a pre-tour chat.
BLOSSOM MILKY CHANCE SONGS FULL
Milky Chance then shifts gears as they demonstrate the full unbounded potential of their genre-bending, with the conga drum laden, reggae infused “Clouds.” They hit one of several high points on “Bad Things” which features Izzy Bizu as they intertwine their voices in a discussion about the worth of a relationship. Blossom begins on a peak with it’s title track, echoing soft synth that builds into layered guitars bouncing off the walls of their insular world. The record is surprisingly long - 14 tracks with 5 bonus acoustic tracks. The crux of Blossom is still the rhythms laid out by guitars and drums, but their repertoire has expanded to include piano, bass and essentially every other instrument under the sun. The rest of Blossom however, is more developed, complex and mature. The bare bones of the new record are the same as the first - strong spaced out drum beats, slow and simple guitars and an eclectic sound inspired by all corners of the musical map. On March 17th Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch, the duo behind Milky Chance, will release their second album Blossom which is neither a massive sonic departure nor a sophomore slump. Instead they’ve been on nonstop victory tours hitting every town and music festival humanly possible. Their rise was quick and seemingly painless - after uploading and releasing their debut album Sadnecessary, the duo found overnight fame thanks in large part to the success of their first single “Stolen Dance.” In the four years between Sadnecessary and Blossom, Milky Chance have not released a single thing. Milky Chance are a rare band with a genuinely pleasant success story and a lack of ill sentiment towards the music industry. I was apprehensive about watching a band at the main stage whose name is Milky Chance (what does it mean?!) but obviously the point of this story is that they ended up impressing the shit out of me. I actually first heard them at a music festival when my sister dragged me to their set. Despite the way I waste my life away in this endless pit of cyberspace I somehow missed Milky Chance’s meteoric and swift rise to Internet stardom.
