LUNCHBOX "ANYWAYS"
From Luzern, Switzerland, with a bit of Brooklyn thrown in, comes post-electronic powerhouse Lunchbox. The trio, which is comprised of Martin Baumgartner, Bruno Amstad, and DJ Olive, packs a steaming full frequency lunch. This collection of tracks has a global feel, and acts as a soundtrack for today's conflicting emotions. As civilizations slog away with their old world views, these tracks lasso the moon.
Unprecedented arrangements are solidly reinforced by relentlessly funky African and Latin rhythms. The ever-present bass lines always surprise, giving the music a grounded, earthy feel. Catchy melodies and hooks slip in and stick to the mind. Turntablist squawks and vocal outbursts are buried deep in the mix, lending a human feel without taking over. Intricate segways and breakdowns surprise, arriving and receding with an easy down home feel.
This lush, warm production sounds great on any sound system or on the home stereo. Trying to define Lunchbox's sound reveals its genuine originality. Most of the same material is also available on two 12" releases from the Agriculture (AG028 & AG029).
