Every week we bring you one of Cape Town's hottest up and coming bands.
This week we present to you:
Ordnungsamt
With their ultra-sexy, über-charming chaos-grooves Berlin mann-frau duo ORDNUNGSAMT (speak „Ord-noongs-umt“) put one or two spokes in the wheel of the notoriously square musical mainstream. ORDNUNGSAMT play „mini-rock, kraut-funk, blues um Punk“. 100% drums, 100% guitar & 82% German.
In their new album MONDO MARGINALO ORDNUNGSAMT integrate observations of seemingly dispensible & marginal, if not for a pop band outright unforeseen topics and turn them into the central point of their work. Even though the whole MONDO MARGINALO universe comes across mostly happy, „positive“ and like mentioned before, very groovy, the elsewhere and in countless songs much celebrated common love appears not here, not now. Nichts. At most the crash and hangover after the fact. It’s instead taking a stab at students, harte jungs (tuff guys), schwere mädchen (heavy girls) etc. And there still are those romantic-dreamy („Psychette“) or other edgy-dodgy („Unfunk“) rocky instrumental titles, which makes the whole album flow extremely well. One could even imagine, in contrast to most lyrics’ slightly worldly-wise messages, to spend a gemütliche night with a loved one on the sofa listening to it.
