WOW!!! OK - here's the first clue: There's a Rickenbacker guitar on the cover (so you know you've got our immediate attention) - so, it's probably jangly, right? A resounding YES YES YES! And the guy looks totally pop! What else do you need? Kai lives in the proximity of Hamburg, Germany. He appreciates good books, movies and last, but not least, good music. A couple of years ago his brother Marc dragged him (against his will) to a Brian Wilson concert. Since then Kai feels different about life. Music has the power to change ones character. He has become a much friendlier person now that he plays Pop music. His rather impressive list of influences includes The Beatles, Brian Wilson, Teenage Fanclub (who we hear BIG BIG BIG TIME on this), Big Star, Matthew Sweet, Pernice Brothers, and the Pearlfishers. Not a bad list of poppers, wouldn't you say? And all off the aforementioned influences are indeed present throughout! "If you like Big Star, if you like Teenage Fanclub, if you like anything with heart and great melody, this album is for you. Kai is a great songwriter and proves it on this release. The hooks and heart are here. It might be a 'cold summer', but this is a hot new album! Don't miss out!" - Walter Lukjanowitsch "He sings in a somewhat, hushed, almost innocent-sounding voice that fits his music perfectly. His record is a jangle poppers delight! Just straight-ahead, no frills, no filler, multi-jangly guitar pop - plain and simple!" - Max Humphries And that's just fine with us! Spot on Walter and Max! We just love dem Rickenbackers! Can't say enough about this one! GREAT!!!
