Mohanders "End of our lies"
Label: Relax records cd2; 2006
The Mohanders is a musical project by two musicians; Sven Bäzner and Michael Graefe. The project was started in 2003 and the result is this End of our lies cd. Both musicians are guitarists and are inspired by worldwide famous artists such as BobDylan, Leo Kottke and Neil Young but also by Bach and the Dutch guitar virtuoso Harry Sacksioni. Bäzner has recorded cd before using the name sick sinus syndrome and Graefe started his own record label, relax music, to be able to release his solo work and now this Mohanders project. The most songs are vocals and guitar only, some songs have guest musicians on percussion, vocals violin etc. The music has a good atmosphere, listen to the title song End of our lies with sparkling guitar play mixed with the deep vocals by Bäzner. This is one of the best songs on this cd in the tradition of early seventies American singer-songwriters. Somehow a song like Dark and windy crossroad could be an early Leonard Cohen song. The way it's composed and the atmosphere, but with different vocal style. In between these two songs you will hear nice, well cared songs in a style an acoustic folk / singer-songwriter style. I think this debut cd by the Mohanders shows two musicians which reach a higher level by playing together. Very nice!
