Ian Fisher + Fabian Kalker = JUNIOR
We would like to introduce you to JUNIOR, the up coming project of the american song writer Ian Fischer and the electro producer Fabian Kalker. They have been secretly working on their album in studio and are now ready to hit the stage at the CHELSEA on the 17th of April for an exclusive and explosive live show.
The music of Junior is not only catchy, but it is rich with musical, literary, and cultural allusions. There are clear musical references to Depeche Mode and Joy Division in a drumbeat or The Police and The Beatles in a guitar riff with a touch of Damon Albarn here and Danger Mouse there. Hidden in the lyrics are references to the works of T.S. Eliot and Erich Fromm, just to name a few. These references are intertwined with direct and honestly phrased allusions to contemporary urban life as a young artist swimming and sometimes sinking in Spaßkultur. But these guys don’t take themselves too seriously all of the time. Though those lyrics hiss at the superficiality of a bourgeois bohemia, they also ironically acknowledge the fact that JUNIOR itself is a part of it.

What happens when an American folk-songwriter teams up with a French/German electronic producer? The answer is some of the catchiest and most lyrically honest pop music is made!
