«A unique sound that levitates somewhere between melancholy and euphoria.» «Tim Freitags soothing vocals got me all excited.» It's All Indie «Tim Freitag is playing themselves note-by-note into the hearts of music fans.» «A fresh young band aiming for the heights.» NegativeWhite Although still in the springtime of their budding careers, Tim Freitag’s tunes have a ma*ure, more autumnal spirit to them: withering, fading relationships, torn, shattered hearts, dark, ominous clouds on the horizon. But, if based on this statement people are tempted to imagine a band of grizzled, grey-bearded grandpa artists, past their prime, well, then they’ve got another thing coming from these Zürich Boys! Songs like «Another Heart Has Lost Its Place», «Bruises», or «Hold On» start off soothing, smooth, slow only to give more power, more impact to the looming guitar-string storm of thunder coming later on. In contrast, «Baby I’ll Go» doesn’t simper around too long with unnecessary foreplay but goes right to the th*oat with pelvis-swinging pulsating action, through danceable guitar riffs, unashamedly embracing de*p 60’s roots and tipping its hat to modern Indie Rock. This is the quintessence of the tracks of this all-male quintet who, gig after gig after gig, have been performing and achieving what many Swiss bands have failed to, or only rarely, do: entertain and enchant a new, previously unknown audience, with hitherto unknown songs, over the course of an entire show. The secret of this magic lies in equal doses, on the one hand, with the charismatic, easy-on-the-eye, eccentric front man Janick Pfenninger and, on the other, with the impressive quantities of artistic sweat that Tim Freitag pour out onto This highly potent aphrodisiac witnesses to the band’s honest commitment to and intense love of music and whisks away from the very onset any remaining wisps of bad mood or false inhibition right out of the club – or from every centimeter of the music festival grounds.
