When the world gets smaller, you put Barbed wire around your own.
With a vigorous new album full of strong lyrics and an undoubtful attitude to the world that surrounds us, the band shows that what Danish leading music magazine, Gaffa, called “perfectly executed melodies” never dies.
When Bahnhof released their rst full-length album, Reverse, back in 2007, the song “Call The Police”, went straight into rotation on the main radio stations in Denmark. A lot of at- tention, live shows and TV performances followed, and the band got a lot of success in Sweden as well. Bahnhof played at the “Peace and Love festival” in 2008 and at the “Siesta” festival last year.
It’s not lovesongs
Not being an especially political band, Bahnhof is back with a new set of strong songs that all circle around the same rather political issues: Imperialism and intolerance.
If we can’t handle our lives, many people tend to get very narrow minded. In other words, when the world gets smaller, you put barbed wire around your own. And then we try to force our beliefs unto others. Often with armed force.
Like on the highly acclaimed debut album “Reverse”, the new melodies are very edgy and strong. Don’t be frightened by the somewhat political lyrics. When they are led by such elegant melodies which Bahnhof provides on “The Black Circus”, they are easy to comprehend. The Bahnhof sound universe is still “dark melodic rock”. With a dominating electronic tone, noise and energy, the expression is keen and concrete.
Bahnhof was originally founded in 1998, playing both their own compositions and cover songs. With different line-ups, Bahnhof has released an EP, Bahnhof, in 2004, and their rst album “Reverse” in May 2007.
