This might come off as somewhat of a contrast to Brad Sucks and State Shirt, who both are much more rock-oriented, but this is some great music. Entertainment For the Braindead is a German solo act by Julia Kotowski. She resides in Cologne and is a self-taught player of many instruments – she plays the guitar, ukulele, bell, flute and everything else you can hear on her two records. She reminds me very much of the Seattle-based Tiny Vipers. In short, singer-songwriter-y music focusing on the voice and the guitar, with other instruments occasionally accompanying those two. She has released two albums (although, for some reason, she calls one of them an EP, despite its running time of 53 minutes): Hydrophobia and Hypersomnia. They’re awfully cheap as well, 1,20€ and 0,70€ – good deals, no?
