Drop: OBLIECHT release their self-titled EP ! (Release date: 28.4.23; Label: Irascible Records)

OBLIECHT (CH - Appenzell, Baden, Zurich)

EP: «Obliecht»
Label: Irascible Records
Release: 28.04.23

"Obliecht". At first glance, everything seems so ordinary: woolen sweaters, coffee cups, chickens, country idyll. But inside the house, the universe's infinity opens up. Instead of dairy cows, a clear view of the Milky Way. At second glance, Obliecht is everything but ordinary.

"I no longer want to become, Dad. I finally want to be," says the child at the end of the track "Aimée". And we are right in the middle of it: The two axes around which Obliecht revolve are mindfulness and bonding. Only here, the terms neither serve a trend nor are they material for a psychology seminar. If you listen closely, you will quickly realize that this music would not be possible if the people behind it were not in unison with themselves and their environment, and if they had not themselves already turned 'umpteen circles around holding on and letting go - or perhaps are still turning them.

Donat Kaufmann started Obliecht by writing texts in dialect during the pandemic years. The theme: his socialization (as a man), and how he stumbles over it today. In the band he also plays guitar, bass and synthesizer. Elias Menzi significantly shapes the sound of the trio with the Appenzell dulcimer. The two musicians are accompanied, complemented, and driven by Anuk Schmelcher on drums.

Obliecht is three people who have come together to breathe in music and breathe out respect. Their sound is driving and introspective, exciting, and soothing. The dulcimer chimes bright, it is tuned "friendly". Perfect restraint is audible on the drums. It sets accents where they are needed -a hit on the snare in a short pause-, and above all leaves space. Space for the yearning melodies to unfold, for nostalgia to spread and hope to be seeded.

This first release by Obliecht is a tender promise. If you really listen, you can't shake the feeling that if everyone would treat each other as gently and prudently as these three musicians do, there would be less room for the ego to do mischief.
