Grebfruit 2

by Benny Greb

supported by

freejazzy Unusual project. Gotta listen to it even if you don't like this artificial/organic mix of drums, voices and electronis. Everything is produced so tight and highly energetic. I think it's fun and very entertaining. Favorite track: I'm Tweeked.

FullMetalWolle just awesome. I can't believe some of the sounds really originate from a human's vocalchords. also: HE sings all of this? Unbelieveable Favorite track: Grebchestra.

s0nspark Benny is phenomenal as always... and not just as a drummer! Favorite track: Tricky.

birmoon Jesus knows me almost brought me to tears, Mrs. Thomas made me burst in laughter and Grebchestra opened my mind to the possibilities of music again. Great musicianship, nothing bad to say. Thanks :) Favorite track: Grebchestra.

Listening to the album becomes a fascinating ride through heavy drum-patterns, webs of vocals, arias, freaky sounds, pumping basses and mighty choirs. „Grebfruit 2“ is not a typical solo-album. It is not what might be expected from a musician who is a drummer foremost – it is an engaging tour de force of a broad musical mind.

about

Echo Jazz Gewinner Benny Greb hat im Jahre 2005 mit seinem Album Grebfruit 1 ein wahres Beben in der Drummer Szene ausgelöst. Nun folgt mit dem Album Grebfruit 2 - geprägt von Stimme und Drums - ein weit reiferes Folgewerk. So ist das Hören des Albums ein Ritt durch dicke Drum Pattern, Stimmgeflechte, Opernarien, Freak Sounds, pumpende Bässe und mächtige Chöre. Grebfruit 2 ist eine Produktion, wie man Sie von einem Drummer nicht erwarten kann. Es treten vollkommen eigenständige Klangwelten hervor, die selbst drei Cover Songs zu integrieren wissen. Alle Songs haben Charakter und Kante und sind eine Aufforderung zum mehrfachen Hören. Das Artwork des Albums scheint Sinnbild dessen zu sein: Benny Greb vermag aus vielen Kehlen zu singen und doch entspringt das Klanguniversum nur einem Kopf.

The ending of Slack is such a beautiful, powerful jam - I love John holding down that massive low end, such a simple but impactful groove! Also, Jojo's triplet hi-hat roll just before coming in for that section is the coolest thing :) Gorgeous modular pad and lead sounds in that section too - so trancey! suedehead23

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
