Precarious bon vivants, gifted musicians, radical guys - VON SPAR are many things, but above all, they are one of the most amazing bands in the realms that the British music press once baptized as Krautrock. Sebastian Blume, Jan Philipp Janzen, Christopher Marquez and Phillip Tielsch have in past been praised even more than the revenants of the genre (in 2012, together with Stephen Malkmus, before the watering eyes of CAN founding members Irmin Schmidt and Jaki Liebezeit, they provided a reinterpretation of the album “Ege Bamyasi” at the Cologne Weekend Festival) - even if the four were inspired equally by techno, synthpop, noise, post- punk and new music.
Hearts Fear is a single from their most recent album “Streetlife” which was released on the 29th April 2016.
“Streetlife” has emerged as a heterogeneous album ranging from melodic piano disco (“Chain Of Command”), to tripped out soundscapes (“Hearts Fear”), to grandiose soft rock (“Try Though We Might”). One might call it music for a better world, if that didn’t sound so lofty. Yet VON SPAR are not at all lofty, they are wide awake. This is not escapism, but life in the streets. And that’s how they live it.

Reflections in a Golden Rosy Maze
On the first day of recording for Rosy Maze, my wife Pat and I had just
started telling people that we were expecting a baby girl. On the day
that the album released, my daughter Lexi is four and a half years old
