Bluebluts 3rd Album

Blueblut is back with their 3rd LP Andenborstengürteltier! Named after the Andean hairy armadillo, this album sees the Viennese trio delve deeper into their intriguing sound, giving everything from bird whistles to Beethoven's ninth symphony, to the Nepalese national anthem their trademark stamp. This album is very much a 2 sided affair in the LP tradition, with side A featuring studio tracks and side B recorded live on their second tour of Japan.

Emerging from Vienna’s thriving underground music scene, Blueblut is arguably one of its most intriguing combos. The trio, founded by three musical powerhouses, famous in their respective spheres of jazz, electronic and avant-rock music, have the intensity of rock, the space and openness of electronica and the razor sharp precision and wild improvisation of jazz.
In Blueblut’s now seven year history, they have wowed audiences across Europe, Japan and South America on their relentless touring, being described as “…the most effective wake-up call you could ever experience” by taste-maker blog Louder Than War and even picking up some praise across the pond with the Brooklyn Rail(U.S.) declaring “Most of these tunes come across like highly abstracted, well-executed cover versions of pop songs that never were.” This new album promises to bring their new sounds to even more ears, and with further touring planned, pending corona restrictions, they could be playing soon in a city near you!

About the individuals in Blueblut:

Pamelia Stickney is probably the most recognisable player of the theremin in the world today, being key in the instrument’s development, she is the number one go-to theremin player. Alongside her own compositions and releases she has performed with the likes of Yoko Ono and David Byrne. Mark Holub is best known as the animated Anglo-American drummer and bandleader of London based and Mercury Prize nominated jazz-rock outfit Led Bib. Holub recently decamped from London to set up home in Vienna. Flying machine maker, sound engineer, guitarist and automata creator Chris Janka is a kind of Viennese Caractacus Potts figure with a basement studio to rival Peter Blake’s. He also recorded, engineered and mastered the record.
