Duck See Goose - Duck See Goose

Behind this Nom de Guerre is the exceptional American vocalist Addie Brik and her project, for which she has gathered an illustrious group of the world's best studio musicians around her. Alongside star bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma and the Ethiopian First Lady of World Music Aster Aweke, the album features instrumental specialists from the ranks about Prince, George Clinton, SEAL, The Brand New Heavies and Tori Amos... The list of references could go on and on.
Addie herself can also look back on a respectable past, having worked with Gong of Four, The The and many more, and her first band is now known as the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Such credits naturally raise high expectations on all sides, but Duck See Goose easily live up to them. Every single advance laurel finds its justification on the debut work presented here, a debut that simply overflows with creative power and innovative energy.
Addie Brik and her fellow musicians present the listener with a multi-layered, sophisticated mixture of sophisticated rhythms, atmospheric density and captivating sex appeal that gets the brain, heart and hands moving in equal measure. Fantastic soundscapes of an oriental nature („You Remember Even Me”) and mercilessly grooving dance numbers such as „Call Me Daddy” merge seamlessly into an album like an acoustic kaleidoscope. With every listen you discover a new, fascinating detail in the sum of captivating impressions.
Anyone who previously thought pop was a rather monotonous or even boring genre can now see for themselves that the opposite is true. Duck See Goose offer perfectly produced, multi-faceted pop with an absolutely unmistakable character.
