Von Spar in session

Marc has a session from Von Spar, all the way from Cologne in Germany,

All the way from Cologne in Germany Van Spar provide us with unique mix of post punk, krautrock and 80s art pop.

You鈥檒l already know Extend The Song featuring the dulcet tones of Stereolab鈥檚 Laetitia Sadier. It鈥檚 from Under Pressure, their fifth album, (if you don鈥檛 count their live homage to Can鈥檚 Ege Bamyasi recorded with Stephen Malkmus). Other guests on the album include Chris Cummings (aka Marker Starling) Vivian Goldman and low-fi maverick R. Stevie Moore

It鈥檚 been 5 years since Van Spar鈥檚 last album Streetlife and 15 since their debut "Die uneingeschr盲nkte Freiheit der privaten Initiative" (not to be confused with the Robbie Williams album of the same name)
