Petra und der Wolf

"[...] Dazwischen werden Erinnerungen an den Grunge der 1990er wach und die Lust noch einmal 16 zu sein. Wohltuend auch, dass sich petra und der wolf mit ihrem rauen, treibenden, aneckenden Sound und dem kraftvollen Gesang von aktuellen Trends der alternativen Wiener Musikszene abhebt. [...]"

"And rules really aren’t for petra und der wolf. Petra and Aurora are somewhat committed to being difficult, musically. They don’t want easily digestible pop or pretty harmonies; they’d rather do what comes organically to both of them and stay musically interesting. “It’s just what comes out when the two of us make music,” says Petra. “It’s not like we want to be difficult or to give the audience a hard time!” “We don’t want to fulfill expectations or feed people’s ears,” agrees Aurora. “We’d like to keep a kind of roughness, to stay authentic and honest. Our music really depends on atmosphere and consists of moods much more than anything else. [...] But whatever it is, they’ll be doing it together: “Someone once said about us performing together that we created a sense of belonging for all the people who were there, says Aurora. For a band whose music growls so temperamentally, ‘a sense of belonging’ might not be what you’d expect to get from one of their shows. However, for a band who loves what it does so fiercely, you might not be surprised to find that it’s totally infectious, and that you belong nowhere but right there."

Die Wendungen und Brüche bleiben. Gefällig wird es nie, melodiös und tanzbar durchaus. petra und der wolf verweigern sich eindeutigen Zuschreibungen und klaren Songstrukturen und überzeugen emotional. Wenn man so will ... Progressive Rock/Anti-Folk/Grunge.
