Geschmacksfragen: Curly Strings

Aus dem schönen Estland kommt die Band Curly Strings, die bereits 2012 von vier Folkmusik-Absolventen gegründet wurde. Seitdem haben sie sieben Alben veröffentlicht, waren auf Tour durch Europa, Japan und Kanada, haben mit Sinfonieorchestern in Estland und Deutschland gespielt, und obwohl sie auf Estnisch singen, kommt ihre Musik auf der ganzen Welt gut an. Letzten Herbst im Oktober ist ihre letzte EP „Make your wings and fly“ erschienen und damit sind sie jetzt auf Tour. Am 11. März kommen sie auch zu uns nach Nürnberg in den Club Stereo. Und wir verlosen auf Insta 2×2 GL-Plätze für das Konzert. Jetzt aber erstmal unsere Geschmacksfragen mit der Band.

Your current favourite Song?

Eeva: Alison Krauss & Union Station – New Favourite. Absolutely beautiful! Great voice, great melody, lyrics, arrangement, the sound of the acoustic instruments. It is a perfect song! The whole album (New Favourite) is my favourite at the moment.

Your current favourite record?

Taavet: Nickel Creek Live From the Fox Theatre. Because I’m learning what they are doing. And they sound very nice live. I like to deep focus on small parts that make such great music!

Eeva: Alison Krauss & Union Station – New Favourite

Your favourite place?

Villu: On stage with Curly Strings. Especially when there has been a break of a few weeks and we get together again. Then the first chords together are like magic.
Peeter: At my countryhouse, behind the sauna on a swing. There’s a nice view and a strong feeling of home. At spring there is super loud and beautiful because of all the birds singing.

Your favourite drink?

Peeter: Coffee. Black. I love the taste. And the kick. And tasting different beans.
Villu: Water. Champagne in the morning. Gets the day going in the right direction. Or totally wrong.
Taavet: Water. After the gig: Hefeweizen. You can’t really get drought weizen in Estonia. So I am really looking forward to the tour in Germany.
Eeva: Värska. It is a classic salty mineral water from the south of Estonia.

Your favourite food?

Taavet: Classic Estonian dish, that my grandmother used to make is fried meatballs (that we call kotletid) with boiled potatoes, tomato and cucumber salad with sour cream.
Eeva: Smoke-sauna ham with black rye bread and onion. Sooo tasty. It has been my favourite since I was a child and the taste still brings me back memories from those times.

What you’d like to read about yourself but hasn’t been written about you yet?

Eeva: That our first German-language song Rache actually sounds pretty good.
