Odd Couple – Flügge

How can you describe a musical quantum leap? Maybe it’s best to explain it in numbers. «Flügge» [meaning «independent» or «to spread one’s wings» in German] is 44 minutes and 41 seconds long, includes 14 songs and 13 instruments divided by two musicians drawing on at least ten different musical spheres of influence. Sampling and digital post production: zero. The second album by Berlin duo Odd Couple has become an eclectic mix that doesn’t fit too easily into a category.
