Spies and Voyeures of the Culture Scene may have already noticed: the surfacing of the name Felix Kubin and his peripheral pop music has lately been taking on an increasingly perplexing dimension. After six nonstop years Kubin has reunited with Pia Burnette for the production of their second album “Detached from all Objects”; an electronic song album submerged in treacherous waters.

Pia Burnette proves that even within the darkest lit of bars her irresistible charm shines on through. She writes her songs upon her magical vocal chords and looks back on a squiggled musical past in diverse formations – Mausi Sisters, Electro Sun, etc. Her lyrics are of afternoon ravings blowing through a small secluded room filled with poison arrows, blood and complex mathematics.

Burnette and Kubin, the displaced musical dream duo of a totally derailed tradition, are an ideal case. Finally, an album has been created in Germany which does not orientate itself to the common brew of society's center. “Detached from all Objects” is almost completely detached from today's hysteria and it's more darkly foreboding and distorted than the previous album “Teslas Aquarium”. Pia and Felix operate with great pleasure in dissecting the vast possibilities of song formats without losing any of the clarity. Relentless towards the world, these two artists have a surprisingly optimistic attitude by themselves: “Eure Qual ist unser Quell” (“Your agony is our source”). As always, Kubin works (because he is a traditionalist) with historical analog maschines, organ instruments and with sessile affections for the 60's Electronic Scene, the “Geniale Dilletanten”, Franz Lambert and Neuer Krach. He utilizes - because he is not a stamp breeder - filters, samplers and auto suggestive snips to form the music around Pia Burnette's heart.
