Herr Wade - We Still Remember Funky Christmas (2024)

Platiruma!!!Buy: Bandcamp Gotta look for stable things to grab onto these days. I already see myself leaning harder into Christmas traditions, both as a source of familiar comfort and frankly, to have some sense of control in a world of uncertainty. Just ordered a new fake Christmas tree… yes, we are a fake tree family. This one is supposed to feel real… I bet I could find something there to…

Herr Wade has been showing up on my music feed, but I didn't know why. Today, I received a CD in the mail from Norway. I actually was assuming it The Fisherman and His Soul CD I'd been waiting for. Instead it was another Sebastian Voss (Germany) project. Herr Wade is Voss with Jørn O. Åleskjæ (Norway).

Herr Wade really doesn't sound like The Fisherman and His Soul. While I would describe this CD as pop, it's more firmly planted in the 1980s sound - think A-ha or any number of bands on the Frischluft! Tonträger label.

This CD is released on Platiruma!!! (Altenberge, Germany). I'm assuming this is associated with Voss. This album was recorded at TeenyTinyStudios and mastered by Heiko Schneider (theCatherines).

The Fisherman and His Soul (featuring The Radio Field) "Santa's Bat" (2021)

The Fisherman and His Soul (featuring The Radio Field) “Santa’s Bat” (2021)

Platiruma!!!Buy: Bandcamp (NYOP) Münster, Germany’s The Fisherman and His Soul is back with his yearly Christmas single, and this one is a Lemonheads-esque jam! Teaming with Düsseldorf’s The Radio Field to provide that booster of jangly 90’s-era college rock, this track has placed me in my freshman dorm room with my buddy Phil. The layered instrumentation, the tiny touches of brass (either real…
