Dopo Schabowski - Dopo Schabowski (2018) EN


Günter "Dopo" Schabowski is one extremely intriguing historic figure - a DDR officer whose slip of the tongue in an official message apparently fastened up the fall of the Berlin Wall. This history is worth reading, you can find it on Wikipedia. Dopo Schabowski is also an Italian post-rock band whose name is a tribute to this anonymous clerk who changed the world by mistake". The Italians have released their debut EP recently.

Their experimental approach to post-rock the band shows not only by using interesting samples in their music but also, or perhaps first of all, by the vocals. In "Così siamo" it's somewhere in between poetry recitation and singing in the way that resembles more the Mediterranean pop music than the off-stream. No wonder the musicians among their interests enlist also... baroque.

Even more psychedelic, in the word's darker meaning, gets in "Gli orologi la notte" in which whispered poetry is accompanied by droning guitar sounds and keys beautiful as icicles in the sun. The whole album is finished with the most traditionally post-rock composition devoted, once again, to Schabowski and crowned with original, historic samples.

"Dopo Schabowski" costs 7 EUR.
