at the beginning of the Evening it really loud. Actually, Masha Qrella is rather dreamy Indie Pop known. The concert begins with your musicians, but with an instrumental Intro, which provides a healthy Dose of post-rock. And as bizarre as it is, has begun, the Berlin musician but her career with the Bands Mina and Contriva, in this Genre.
but then the first notes of “Ticket To My Heart” sounded, the opening track of their current Album, “Keys”, is back to normal again on Sunday evening in the Lido. Qrellas Bass forms the backbone of the Sound, dry and melodic, a perfect counterpoint to its crisp, very youthful voice.
the Songs of The great album dominate the set list, in-between Masha Qrella scatters a few new titles . The musical which is on their latest release: The EP “Day After Day” appeared a few weeks ago, Qrella sings here for the first time in English. In the autumn, with an Album to follow.
Very quiet and melancholy than usual at Qrella of the Song “Long Road”; the title track of the EP is far more interesting. As the basis of a fragment of text by Heiner Müller, quoted in turn by David Bowie serve. Again, there is a gently grooving Bass and subtle synth, and a catchy chorus. After the first half of the song Qrella switches to your fellow musicians on the Sampler: Suddenly more relaxed Popharmonien, but slightly dissonant Electronica, lines of dialogue, car horns sounded. So a great a good Song; the structures to break before the chorus kicks in one last Time.
“Don’t Stop The Dance” is a Noise-guitar
interrupted The concert is always at its best when Qrella and her Band deconstruct the Songs in this way. The actually very danceable “Don’t Stop The Dance” is interrupted at the end of a Noise-guitar, always fierce, always distorted to the ears of the volume of anesthetic. The Sound is excellent: The Bass remains crystal clear and booms still, the drum groove is wonderfully dry, the guitar hurts fortissimo in the ears.

Unfortunately, the Lido is only half full. Marsha Qrella says that it is a nice room. Nevertheless, a smaller Club would have been the better choice, because of the atmosphere.
