Fight of the Stupid
builds a foundation on classical music, where Berlin musician
Tonia Reeh
took her first steps. Voice, piano and the occasional sound effect are all Reeh needs to express her exhaustive compositional know-how. The album was recorded in the sound studio of the Hamburg-based Clouds Hill label, where she found support from ex-
The Mars Volta
member
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez
of
Bosnian Rainbows
on guitar and
Jakobus Siebels
and
Mense Reents
of
Die Vögel
performing as brass players. The catchy "The Accused" sticks out from the general feel with its classic pop-song structure and linear up-tempo beat. The captivating,
PJ Harvey
-esque "Non Believer" has intense tempo changes and beautifully abrasive use of brass instruments. And "Hellhound" is solid gold, reminiscent despite its slowness of old blues tunes and the minimalistic arrangements of
Nick Cave
's
Push the Sky Away
. This album is powerful, solemn, distinctive and complex in its beauty. And above all, it's a multifaceted musical statement on behalf of a clever, intrepid songwriter that deserves to be heard.
