Löwenzahnhonig – “Kirschblütenboogie”
.
It was the height of summer when Löwenzahnhonig moved into the barn. No studio, no city noise, no everyday worries. Just the air, heavy with sun-dust and the scent of blossoms, the milky light slipping through the cracks in the wooden beams, and a collection of instruments that sounded like they came from another era.
There, in a place where time knows no deadlines, Kirschblütenboogie (literally: Cherry Blossom Boogie) was born. It’s an album like a Super 8 film set to music: shimmering, sunfaded, quietly precise – as if someone turned the tempo down on pop music to give it room to breathe again. Guitar lines sneak through the windows like sunbeams, the bass is a patient storyteller, and the drums think more in landscapes than in beats.
The music of this Swiss instrumental band is poetic deceleration. Those who listen may catch fleeting shadows of Khruangbin, whose guitar lines seem to have been sent on a journey through time. But Löwenzahnhonig bring something entirely their own: a kind of Alpine Zen-surf – dreamy, yet precise. “Retro” doesn’t quite capture it. What this music does is more archaeological: it unearths something buried beneath layers of volume and urgency.
At times, Löwenzahnhonig evoke the cinematic vastness of Tortoise, the drifting clarity of Yo La Tengo, or the solitary landscapes once traversed by Ry Cooder’s slide guitar. Listening to this music feels like finding an old photo album in the attic: you don’t know anyone in it, yet somehow, it feels like it belongs to you.
And when you experience Löwenzahnhonig live, you truly understand that this music is more than just a backdrop. With a dreamlike sense of precision, the band modulates tempo, lets the music flow, hesitate, stretch out like afternoon sunlight. Their concerts are spaces of bliss – somewhere between sleepwalking transcendence and loose-limbed danceability. The latter finds even more space on this second album. That’s what makes the anticipation for their upcoming European tour so thrilling: what Löwenzahnhonig craft in the studio becomes
something vividly alive on stage – a concert like a time machine, and a band steadily carving out its place in the memory of the present.
