Annika

Wearing a skyblue dress, and carressing a white swan on a examining table, Annika Line Trost looks like a cross between Twin Peaks characters Audrey Horne and The Log Lady. Annika, who suffered her first bout of lovesickness at the age of two when she saw Kralle Krawinkel, guitarist with the German cult band Trio, on TV, toured with Digital Hardcore-band Shizuo, and is still part of duo Cobra Killer. If you know those bands, you might think that Annika solo would be as loud and in-your-face, but on second album Trust Me the listener enters "a world where a sense of belonging can never be more than a passing moment, the colour of innocence is dark blue, and elegance has been defined by Brian Ferry for all time. Similar to the fleeting images of a David Lynch movie, accompanied by the manic despair of Francoise Hardy, Trosts songs develop a definitely light-footed, yet irresistible lure." Intriguing, eh? Annika sings in German, English and French, and makes weird videos as well.

  1. What's the story on the new file hosts? If you're one of those poor souls on a dial-up connection...(guess who just raised there hand)...you can forget about it. Sendfile downloads at an amazing 814 bytes per sec and sendspace at a blazing 2kbs.
    I was just wondering because I've had no trouble in the past. Thanks for a great site! You've turned me on to many fine artists.

  2. A little birdie flew in, and told me all about these temp. host files. In no way did I upload the songs myself.
    If you're from either the French or the Belgian anti-piracy gestapo and you're reading this comment: I might've uploaded songs to a server in the past and made them easily downloadable (hearsay,your honour), but somebody told me that server was exceeding its bandwith due to heavy heavy datatraffic (186Gb wasn't enough, jeeeez!).
