Cunning Stunts

Like A StuntmanLike A Stuntman
Genre: Concrete / Other / Tropical
From: Hamburg Germany

Like A Stuntman are four young Germans who play eccentric weird folk electro-kraut-melodic indie rock the like of which you've never heard before.

Together since 2001, Like a Stuntman take the detuned experimental noise-pop of bands like Boyracer or Deerhoof, adhere it to Pavement-esque infectious melodies and a lazy drawl, and propel it forward on a danceable wave of Casio keyboards, and lo-fi drum-machines. The resulting sound has been described as "one part Capitol K's great one off masterpiece Pillow, one part a more interesting/less wimpoid Postal Service, or Her Space Holiday without the self obsessed lyrics, and one part the scattershot bedroom pop of Steward or early Enon".

The band, who released their first album '2005' on British indie label Highpoint Lowlife, have a new album of hypnopsych called 'Original Bedouin Culture'. Check out one of the tracks from the album below.
