Carsten Pieper
His farewell album to L.A. where he lived for a long time. Also, a phase shift in his song-writing, the artist claims. Whatsoever, the music remains "retro", many things 50s and 60s are incorporated in this new, and again great, album are included. One thing I hear here, but don't read about, is a certain pet sound feeling in quite a number of these songs. Maybe due to the (again) mono mix and these rich arrangements...?
Favorite track: (No) Commitment.
