Peter Bursch’s Bröselmaschine Added to Freak Valley 2015

As they continue to branch out stylistically, the Freak Valley festival 2015 has begun taking the sloshing steps into the vast ocean that is krautrock. Led by guitarist/vocalist Peter Bursch, Bröselmaschine got together in 1969 and released their self-titled debut in 1971, blending psychedelic folk and nascent prog rock influences into a distinctive, warm sound that continues to resonate more than 40 years later. I don’t imagine they’ll be paired next to Goatsnake on the Freak Valley 2015 bill — though of course one never really knows until the schedule is out — but they bring a touch of serenity to the increasing sonic diversity of the festival, and for the excuse to dive into the self-titled alone, I’m glad to see them added.

The announcement came through as follows:

Hey Freaks – please welcome one of the oldest German Krautrock bands to our 2015 line-up: Peter Bursch’s BRÖSELMASCHINE!!

From their 1969 origins in Duisburg, Germany, Bröselmaschine began engaging with the psychedelic throughline that marks so many of the more progressively minded krautrock bands. But rather than rely on watery electric guitars and reverb-laden vocals, founders Peter Bursch and Willi Kissmer pushed their band toward cavernous, labyrinthine folk compositions, which their 1971 self-titled debut has in spades. Reliant largely on plaintive acoustic guitar strumming, BRÖSELMASCHINE sounds decades ahead of its time. Though there’s no concrete evidence that Devendra Banhart and all the rest of those early aughts freak folkies were taking in ’70s German prog records, the Duisburg quartet at least anticipated the craze of acid-addled acoustic music.
