“Brown Metal Flake Cadillac” is the lead-single from my upcoming double LP “Calivada” – this tune is the center of the records, musically and lyrically. It’s kind of a lovesong for a super sweet 350hp equipped vehicle.
I love this track, great emotional and fun instrumentation. There is a really chill vibe that carries the innocent vocals of Marcel Krell. I think the song is so similar to Death Cab for Cutie, and other pop/ emo upstarts.
About the band:
Talking To Sophie creates Klingklang, wrapped in pop structures and dizzying sound scramble. After months of playful experiments in the studio Krell, releases the self-produced debut album onto multifaceted german stages, whether great or small. Supported by lights, friends and delight an unique sound art is created with alternating orchestration.
It all started by creating cover songs of the very first self-bought record; songs sung by the boyhood idol. Resulting versions of those songs consisted of power chords and squeaking solo action (autodidactic, of course!). Two years later the first band assembled, which would eventually also turn out to be the last. Five years later, between pop-rock and acoustic shows; after tiring band practice and touring the Brandenburg suburbs, it was time for a new beginning. The band leader now had to shift for himself. This is the story of how Talking To Sophie was created; the self-realization in image and sound.
