Magnetfisch already exist since 1998, and from a duo, which originally played instrumental music with roots in the 80ies New Wave, they became an outright band after two beautiful albums. Still, they let their roots shine through and do not deny them at all. Thanks to the singer Seline Kunz, the instrumental compositions became full-blown songs with catchy tunes that will find lots of fans amongst aficionados of good old New Wave. Although the music is electronic in its structure, I personally rather see the incisive guitar sounds, which remind me of giants like The Durutti Column, And Also The Trees and The Cure. The congenial voice of Seline Kunz contributes to make botox a very beautiful single, leaving us waiting impatiently for new songs. Unfortunately, such melodic, unobtrusive New Wave is much too rare nowadays.
