SINGLE REVIEW

"[A] fascinating piece of electro goth-punk. Mauerkipp speeds like a runaway train, dangerously and threateningly, as if a crash
is unavoidable. Twitchy vocals roll over ongoing sinister synth streams causing a spine-chilling experience that feels both intimidating and never-ending while Krautrock dynamics augment the menacing atmosphere." - turn Up The volume (BEL)

"Two very different songs [...] In [Mauerkipp's] profound sound, dark, atmospheric and experimental elements merge with melancholic singing. Alex sometimes sprinkles in mystical ingredients, with synths and samples creating an eerie atmosphere. The unique and avant-garde sound is enriched towards the end with some scary effects and determines emotional depth and intensity. [...] Alex turns California into a synth-pop song with German lyrics and a subtle disco breeze that sweeps over the chorus, moist with mist. A great adaptation with unusually positive vibes. Alex captivates the listener with surprising twists and unusual sounds" - Underdog Fanzine (GER)

"[It's] a specific fusion of dissonances that contains a dark black metal atmosphere expressed by the disturbing sound of the zither, combined with the almost tribal notoriousness of the drums and the vintage eighties-style synthesizer (but still post-punk, especially in the second part of the song). All this is held together by emotionally tense (and also post-punk in expression) male vocals." - Wave Press (PL)

"Vlimmer is somewhere between gothic, post-punk, synthpop, indie rock, wave and often also pop. This is also the case on his new single Mauerkipp b/w California. Here he brings the new track “Mauerkipp” plus a great German-language cover of Phantom Planet's “California”, which also features female vocals. It all sounds good and familiar again." - De Subjectivisten (NL)
