Bus Eagles

With its surreal melodies and wayward electronic elements (far from eager to please), Eagles, the third full-length by Berlin duo Bus bursts at the seams with intricately woven and extremely detailed soundscapes. Even though it's virtually impos- sible to put any definite genre term to it, it's a varied collection of tunes that nevertheless works really well together.
As a matter of fact, some of the tracks compiled on Eagles were recorded years ago, and a few of them have even seen a release, but some things take time, and for Tom Thiel and Daniel Meteo this meant putting together album #3 a whopping eight years after the second Bus album Feelin' Dank came out. Like the duo's debut effort Middle of the Road (2003), said predecessor pretty much offered a mix of dub, hip-hop and electronica, with additional vocals by MC Soom-T for good pop measure. On Eagles, the vocal parts have disappeared, and we're left with the purely instrumental oomph and allure of their tracks.
