FSK is a German band. Their original artnik/punk sound (ca. 1980) mutated into a twisted take on oompah-heavy Bavarian roots music –and its bastard stylistic offspring, American country & western; their ever-evolving sound currently folds lo-fi electronica into the mix. Along this iconoclastic route they’ve collected David Lowery (of Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven) as a charter member; he plays/sings on and produced “International.” With this, only their 2nd US release ever, they blur both border and gender lines with their sharp cross-cultural wit.
Fricke, ROLLING STONE
“An anarchic hybrid of beerhall bonhomie and Camper Van Beethoven-style avant-folk sport.”
Meyer, OPTION
“FSK re-appropriates American roots music of European extraction, then electrifies it with fuzzy guitars, cheap organs, and rude brass.”
Lien, CMJ
“…FSK is that band in a thousand that has the smarts to poke fun at everything (including themselves), and the musical clout to make it work.” |
