The Blue Angel Lounge formed in 2006, led by singer Nils “O.” Ottensmeyer and Dennis Melster. Initially a 6 piece darkly psychedelic outfit, with their second LP “Narcotica” (8MM Musik 2010), they began subtly introducing post-punk elements to their melodic songwriting, and the intensity of Nils O’s vocal began to come to the forefront.
Strangers to the mainstream, but revered by a steadily expanding fanbase around the world, the band supported other groups on tour such as Interpol, The Dandy Warhols, The Brian Jonestown Massacr and A Place To Bury Strangers. Anton Newcombe (founder of The Brian Jonestown Massacre), a fan of the band, assisted with production of “Narcotica”. The band have been invited twice to the prestigious Austin Psych Festvial in Austin, Texas (2011 and 2012).
The Frozen Borderline consists of Nils O., best known as founding member and lead singer of german cult dark-psych heroes, The Blue Angel Lounge. The Frozen Borderline is Ottensmeyers solo singer/songwriter project. The album Sadness as a Gift began in 2007, a collection of songs written as an alternative to the Manchester goth vibes of The Blue Angel Lounge’s more recent full-lengths. It is a more stripped-down and introspective journey with melancholic themes and chord structures in sparser and rawer arrangements.
The moving melodies and personal lovelorn aura give The Frozen Borderline a character of its own. The songs conjur a visual landscape of Ottensmeyers world, both spontaneous, pure, and without compromise and always reflects the creative diversity and breadth of the artist.
Helmed by freewheeling creative spirit, novelist, songwriter and editor John-Paul Pryor, (former front-man of explosive noughties avant-rockers The Lancaster Bombers), The Sirens of Titan recorded their first offering Apocalypse Sessions in a series of live sessions intended as a riposte to overproduction, and was more a tantalising glimpse than a full strip-tease.
Embracing the chaos that presents itself, The Sirens of Titan are doing things the wrong way round, with the assured The Age of Treason rocking up like a débutante some six years after the event `– a swaggering Neve-desk produced opus that provides a vicarious sonic rush when placed on the stereo.
Its rich, layered and uniquely bohemian psyche-blues sound unashamedly tapping into the rich heritage of rock and roll for one final dionysian blast, where The Stones meet The Doors, Scott Walker collides with Syd Barrett.
