Androide Scrip is a jazz record - not mainstream, but plain and simple: piano, drums, bass. Full stop. Influenced by artists such as The Bad Plus, E.S.T., Thom Yorke, Bush and Muse, the debut is not a pop, rock or electro album, even though it repeatedly makes use of song structures from these varieties of current music styles. Together with pianist Florian Kästner and bassist Philipp Martin, the trio led by Jörg Wähner (Apparat, Bodi Bill, The DAS) explores the possibilities in such a way that the boundaries of the expected are pushed at all times. Produced in Moses Schneider's Hansa Studio, the album is also a revelation for curious ears in terms of sound.
And even though a single speck of dust can be the enemy of all needles, the full sound enjoyment is available on vinyl. Any hissing, scratching or even crackling is worth the effort, because listening to a record is synonymous with sitting down, shutting up and listening: Sit down, shut up, listen. 40 minutes is enough time to devote to Shramm. That's how long the journey that Android Scrip takes us on lasts.
