Let The Light In

With their second album "Let The Light In" M185 have established themselves as one of the smartest and most interesting rock bands in the city. The classic Krautrock pulse, the occasional Sonic Youth-like dissonance, the noise eruption, surprising brass movements and sax parts, changes in tempo and psychedelic passages immersed in silky-smooth reverb, scrambling excesses à la Velvet Underground, the half-sung, half-spoken vocals des Wolfram Leitner - everything conspires in favor of an atmospheric, glorious urban tristezza that would fit in the Lower East Side as well as in the less photogenic corners of Vienna.
