Conny is catching the attention of some quality music fans this year so if you haven’t heard of him, check him out now so you can say you heard him when. He has a talent for rustic delivery of the essence of the song – and human longing – that comes across as though it’s channeled by feel. Every year, music connoisseurs hope to find undiscovered hidden gems of true greatness. Not sure why it’s so satisfying, but there’s something about having the inside scoop. So take this to be our inside scoop for this year, make sure not to miss this one while you’re mining.
Its not always easy to find the right song to introduce an album. In this case, when I wrote and recorded “Holy Motors,” I already felt that was the one. To me it has that classic storytelling touch, but at the same time it develops a much more post-modern imagery that works as a stepping stone for the whole record. I really like the roughness and minimalism of the track, which also works really well live. I hope it can offer some food for thought and get you into the mood for the stories that are supposed to follow. – Conny Ochs
