Die Orangen is back on the adventurous Malka Tuti with their sophomore album, Zwei Orangen. It's been two years since their debut album Zest animated the underground scene, merging obscure samples, field recordings, krautrock motifs, and a spattering of humor and self-perception into their newly forged genre: krautback. The Australian duo -- Kris Baha and Dreems -- return with two more years of wisdom tucked under their hats to deliver a matured, developed sound. The industrial sonics and propensity for a dusty bush-beaten tone remain, however the samples and ambience take a backseat, handing the map over to the guitar riffs, vocals, and song writing to navigate the albums vast terrain. Collaborators Jono Ma (of Jagwar Ma), Alex Akers (of Forces), and Hayley Morgan expand the album into a diverse journey across zones and styles, offering their own observation of the spacious musical world of Die Orangen. These 11 tracks will make you contemplate, they'll will make you reminisce, they'll give you friendly advice, they'll ask you to dance, and they'll question the direction of your compass... Fear not, however, this is music for everybody. As the Oranges say "Saft für alle".
