NEW LP

After a stretch of flamboyant shows, Namosh took a brief respite from the ¿stage to focus on his new recordings. ¿And the result is well worth the wait: his second long player, ‘Keep It For ¿Later’, about to be unleashed on the (un)suspecting public, is a beautiful ¿whirlwind of a record, although a touch softer than its precursor. Here, ¿Namosh twirls dreamlike, synthie-generated sound sequences into rhythmic ¿bass lines, percussion and vocals, further enriched by the cello, brass and ¿jazz guitar provided by a few select peers. Mixed by Thomas Stern (Crime & ¿The City Solution, Einstürzende Neubauten), the album also boasts a rare ¿collaboration with composer Peter Thomas (Jerry Cotton, Raumpatrouillie ¿Orion) and Namosh’s first ever mainstream croon-fest: ‘Pleurer et Rire’ (Cry ¿and Laugh). ¿¿It was six years ago that the – then 21-year-old – Namosh E. Arslan first ¿wowed the crowds with ‘Picked Up Floozy’. A rousing club hit for the early ¿millennium, the pumping electro track – carried by Namosh’s smooth, yet ¿curiously choppy vocals – still fills dancefloors around the world. In a ¿poll by Q magazine, the Icelandic queen of cool, Björk, voted Namosh’s ‘Cold ¿Cream’ her favourite song. ¿¿A tour de force and force of nature, Namosh’s live sets are leagues apart ¿from the latest mainstream offerings. „His musical spectrum might be broad, ¿but anyone who’s ever had the chance to see Namosh live will know that ¿there’s a lot more to this man than the music.” (FAZ) ¿Other media labels for the one-man performance phenomenon include: „German ¿Wunderkind“, „crazy performance by a German/Kurdish star in the making“ or ¿“Berliner by choice, Kurdish by nature”. ¿¿So, let’s not „Keep It For Later“: Namosh’s new album – released on CD, in a ¿digital format and as a limited double vinyl edition – will be available ¿from late October 2009.
