about
Analogue synthesizers, tape machines and songwriting that starts out on the piano – Elias Matt & (the) Rescue Mission is old school alternative pop in a time of digitally over-compressed deafness. Matt and his colleagues from Berlin see themselves as an art project with bizarre live performances, strange interviews and unusual promotion campaigns. Their sound is influenced by the „Sheffield Sound“ of the late 70s and early 80s with bands like The Human League and Cabaret Voltaire and German electronic acts such as Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. That's why the band exclusively uses analog synthesizers of this era.
GOTHIC: "Gloriously schizophrenic!"
DARK SPY: "… it's a beautiful Electro Album …"
TERRORVERLAG: „… big potential for success here with experienced musicians and singers …"
ZILLO: „They have a feel for simple but catchy electronic tunes …“
NACHTAKTIV: „… a very unique mixture between electroclash, NDW, pop and minimal electro …"
AMBOSS-MAG.DE: „… haven’t heard something like that in quite a long time …"
