Janis Görlich's Bummelzug Explosion
In der Ferne
Shoebill Music
2013
By JAKOB BAEKGAARD, Published: October 24, 2014Things are happening in the jazz underground in Berlin. One of the labels to look out for is Shoebill Music. The label was founded in 2006 by Johannes Haage, Philipp Gropper, Christian Lillinger, Roland Schulz, and Sebastian Sternberg, but today it is run solely by Johannes Haage. In recent years, the label has taken a turn and is now focusing on releasing high quality vinyl albums that come with download codes. It is the plan to offer digital distribution as well in the future, but right now focus is on the physical product.
One of the most prominent artists on the label is German drummer Janis Görlich. Görlich has released two albums that both show his versatility as a composer and player and his ability to shape atmospheric soundscapes and melodies.
Janis Görlich's Bummelzug Explosion is the name of a project led by drummer and composer Janis Görlich. The word "bummelzug" refers to a slow train that stops at every station and it fits a band that plays slow music with plenty of details. Simply put, the album In der Ferne is a soundtrack for a movie that does not exist. It starts out with "Mangel An Licht" that emulates the sound of a train passing through a landscape. It builds up to a slow-rocking composition with spiky guitar and intertwining saxophones before moving on into a dreamy haze with the train disappearing in the horizon.
