Pascal Plantinga "A Hammer A Day Keeps..." (CD)

On “A HAMMER A DAY KEEPS THE HEADACHE AWAY”, Pascal Plantinga stretches the boundaries of modern song-writing. In this amazing collection of songs and slick fuzzy arrangements, Pascal fuses elements of punk, jazz, latin, musical, hörspiel and plain old fashioned avant-garde, concocting just the right blend of sophistication and rebellion. Entirely produced at the legendary Ata Tak studios in Düsseldorf with Pyrolator, one of Germany’s most versatile producers, this album comes with a number of musical surprises. Who else but Stereo Total’s Françoise Cactus could give “You make me feel like a teenager again”, its sultry quality and make Gainsbourg wish he had taken dancing lessons? And how about a woman of strange appetites like Anne La Berge, whose exotic over-blown flutes radiantly compliment the lyrics of "I'm crazy," a swingin' journey that makes Insanity sound colourful and appealing.
From the Hawaiian surf rolling in on “This should not exist” to the writings on the wall in “The fish is sick”, the tongues and cheeks are there in abundance, with the added lustre of a truly romantic interpretation and plenty of exciting thoughts! Destined to become one of the biggest hits across the continent, “A HAMMER A DAY…” could very well be the divine intervention that saved your marriage.
