Befunde ab 1999

The Cologne-based kraut jazz formation C.A.R. present their new album „Befunde ab 1999“. While its 2018 predecessor„Look Behind You“ was quite polished and Hi-Fi, „Befunde“ is a beast of a different spirit – this time the C.A.R. went to the garage to jam! The result is a collection of freely improvised pieces which range from afro-tinged sequenzer-grooves to extended psych-rock jams and motorik-beat workouts, loosely following the kraut-commonplace of "scream your heart / wreck your brain".

Released July 10th 2020 on Bimba Music. Vinyl and digital.

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.
