Look Behind You
C.A.R. is presenting their second album „Look Behind You“. After the field trips into the world of Pop and Electronica covers on their 2017 EP „Interlude“ the band returns to original compositions again. It was recorded and mixed at the Dumbo Studios in Cologne by Jan Philipp Janzen and Phillip Tielsch, also known as members of the Post-Krautrock outfit Von Spar. Yet another band, whose sound is hard to pin down to genre conventions.
On the album you can find all the sonic elements that C.A.R. has adopted in the course of their seven year existence so far. From composed melodies to improvised sounds, from ambient collages to Duesseldorf beats. But all of this comes without conceptual limitations or formal orchestrations, always focused on the natural flow of music.
Released July 13th 2018 on Bimba Music. Vinyl, CD and digital.

Interlude EP
Covering other people’s music is a great way to expand your own musical horizons; to explore what makes these compositions tick; and to let them shine in a new and (hopefully) interesting light by giving them your own individual coloring. This is why we always took joy in spicing up our live shows by covering tunes by some of our favorite artists. This is a collection of some of them.
Released in September 2017. Limited to 500 pieces. CD in hand printed sleeve, made with a lot of love in collaboration with Lorenz Klingebiel. Because of the special printing process (using a risograph) every individual copy looks slightly different and unique.

Limited Edition Poster »Interlude EP«
The beautiful cover art of the Interlude EP as a high quality print poster. Due to the special printing technique, using a risograph, every print looks slightly different and unique. Limited to 100.

fao fans of kraut-jazz,
this is good.
Collagen aus Ambient-Sounds,
Düsseldorf-Beats, Krautrockeinflüssen
und einer Prise BadBadNotGood.
The music of C.A.R. tends
to be psychedelic, ambient
and spatial, with a rather
calming, even spiritual effect.
Enthralling psychedelic
sort of 70’s music, pleasurably
taking you underwater or
on interstellar wanderings.
Interessant und talentiert,
verspielt und motiviert
Delicate jazz textures with
freakout noise and digital vamps.
A journey worth taking.
Ein Trip gewissermaßen,
sanft und subtil.
Die psychedelischen Vier
von C.A.R., die Repetition
und Wabern vereinen.
Bei C.A.R. scheinen die alten
Äcker des Jazz auf einem
anderen Planeten zu liegen.
Durch eine Vielzahl
elektronischer Effekte und eine
stark ausgeprägte Rhythmik bekommt
ihre Musik etwas Meditatives.
Garanten für einen zügigen
Trip! Dringend empfohlen!
Die Stärke dieser Musik
liegt in ihren sachte angelegten
Stimmungen, Räumen
You get in this C.A.R.
to DRIVE and to FUCK –
foot to the floor, bitches!!
