Floating di Morel are a rock 'n' roll band based in Berlin Germany. Formed in 1994 by ex PLO and Young Scamps members Kai Drewitz and Sabine Blödorn.
Personnel
The sound of the band
German critic Jens Willemer positively noted that it is impossible to categorize the sound of the band. As analogies he cites Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Free Jazz and White Light Hysteria. At the end he asks: "Is it rock 'n' roll? Is it noise? Is it art?" Robert Miessner states that if Velvet Underground had not disintegrated in 1973 and instead had met with Neu! or Mute's Daniel Miller they would have sounded like Floating di Morel.[1] Chicago critic Jake Austen comments: "Like a classy Suicide (the band, not the act of desperation) these cats present minimal, chilling music, but wear ties and sweep the warehouse before inviting you over for a bizarre ultra-underground concert".[2]
