It’s been a nice return to Matthias Sturm’s voice in Luna Park. After first hearing his debut album Blood and Thunder (2012), his new venture is a big edgier. Still, something about his voice stays with you throughout the day. It has this veil of comfort like a kindhearted tale. It’s easy to fall under his sweet spell.
The East German born – France based artist starts out with “1947 (Pandora Out of the Box).” Right away his vocals mixed with a stunning music bed capture an imaginative world. The mindset and aloof feeling continues in “All Beauty Must Die.”
In “All Beauty Must Die” Sturm’s vocals are surpassed only slightly by a surly guitar bridge. The segment is both fascinating and sensual. And, as he sings the lyrics “crazy man,” you get swept into a space somewhere between John Lennon and Bad October.
As “Mirror, Mirror” and “Gitan” come and go, these tracks showcase Sturm’s intricate prose albeit drowsy music beds. In “Kingdom (Built on Sand)” and “If The Devil Comes” his recipe is consistent and he channels a bit more Moby and rock into his Bohemian world.
Sturm’s tracks on Luna Park surely enlighten the audio world; he evokes profound images and stretches the imagination. And, the guy can rhyme.
