Personnel

Album Description

With "Crosscurrent" the band "Larceny", founded by the German drummer David Giesel, presents its debut album. The music of the band "Larceny" is full of empathy, melancholy and conviction and combines catchy melodic arcs as well as modern harmonies with expansive gestures of space and breath. The result is a tension between powerful and energetic as well as dreamy moments. The focus is on beauty as an ideal that is musically targeted in various ways, always expressing itself authentically. Listeners already got to know this captivating sound with the EP "Shapes" (at that time still under the band name @iTsLarceny). The EP "Shapes" introduces for the first time the international band with David Giesel on drums, Moritz Langmaier on piano, Julian Drach on saxophone, Pauli Poulsen on guitar and Jan Mikio Kappes on bass, a tight-knit unit. Larceny was part of the "Vetrarjazz" 2022 and already played concerts in many parts of Germany. The new album "Crosscurrent" tells about experiences, impressions and personal experiences that the band made during their stay in January 2022 on the Faroe Islands. It is a kind of musical travelogue. Natural phenomena, as well as the effect of nature on man and life, play an overriding role. To what extent are these phenomena mirror images from our lives? During the nine songs, the band takes its listeners to different places and tells of profound experiences on the island.
