To put the music of Berlin based band Conic Rose into a common formula is almost hopeless. Depending on your perspective, you could call it indie pop, jazz, ambient, electronica or a soundtrack that evokes its own images. It is all of these things, and yet much more than just the sum of the listed styles. Konstantin Döben describes this phenomenon as both a blessing and a curse. But that is pure understatement, because it is precisely the unmistakable sound of his husky trumpet that gives the album its special aura, floating on the tranquil soundscapes of electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, bass – and stoic drums. The debut album “Heller Tag” has garnered significant interest and airplay from Gilles Peterson, BBC, MOJO (4*) or Jazzwise.
