Dennis Grimm known as Brother Grimm is one of my favourite artists since his impressive gig at 2018's Traumzeit Festival. His album Home Today, Gone Tomorrow is one of the best in its own, weird and dark genre. He made recently a comeback with the new album On Flatland, on Sand.
As he describes himself, it's no coincidence that his scene name refers to the famous literature brothers: "Because this brother Grimm is also devoted to nightmares, but they are of an acoustic nature". In practice it results in very male blues vocal singing lyrics-focused and -heavy songs accompanied by raw guitar sounds, minimal drums and sometimes even delicate guitar noise - which in general gives, let's call it that way, something like post-americana.
Grimm in his music can be aggressively pugnacious but also melancholically peaceful and the latter (as in The Ocean, On Flatland, on Sand) is more to my taste. Still, he can also, as a few artists, interest me in the americana-like music at all.
On Flatland, on Sand costs 12 EUR, unfortunately quite a lot.
