One Sentence. Supervisor – third album. Super cool
Any new music from Donat Kaufmann’s band of post-psychedelic groove magicians is an event. A new album doubly so. Following on from their breakthrough LP “Temporär Musik 1 – 13” – winner of the “IndieSuisse album of the year award 2016” –, One Sentence. Supervisor release their third album, “Acedia”, on 13 September via Irascible Records.
Having joined the band occasionally for live performances, the Syrian oud maestro Bahur Ghazi has now joined One Sentence. Supervisor on a permanent basis. His contributions to “Acedia” are often technically breath-taking, always beautiful. His traditional Arabic scales are a perfect complement to the band’s psychedelic drones and pulsating rhythms, taking their cue from similarly aligned post-Krautrock pioneers, Dissidenten, or even the North African adventures of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. In another change of line-up, drummer Dominik Meuter has been replaced by multi-instrumentalist Sarah Palin (also a member of the great Phil Hayes & the Trees, Boytoy, and JJ & Palin).
Produced by the Lebanese/Canadian multi-instrumentalist Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Suuns, The Black Hand, Hotel2Tango, Jerusalem in My Heart, etc.), “Acedia” concerns itself with the innumerable dilemmas an ecologically and socially aware citizen of the 21st century is daily confronted with, a theme which is mirrored by the artwork that accompanies an album that is certain to be a shoe-in for the end of the year “best of” lists.
