Bohren & der Club of Gore - Dolores

Bohren & der Club of Gore, an ambient/jazz band hailing from Germany founded in 1992. It's a formation of members from various hardcore outfits such as 7 Inch Boots, Chronical Diarrhoea and Macabre Farmhouse.

It's rather unique to find such big switch from strong pumpin' hardcore tunes to a mild stylistic ambient grooves. As Bohren terms they have 'created an unholy ambient mixture of slow jazz ballads, Black Sabbath doom and down tuned Autopsy sounds.'

On November 4, the band is set to release their sixth album, Dolores through PIAS Recordings.

Based on their musical backgrounds and their previous albums released, I'm looking forward to a considerable amount of reputable dark ambient tunes that goes really well with a bottle of scotch and fried nuggets, struggling superbly hard to think of any suicide attempts. Dolores might be a little dimmer than many other jazz groups, but it may be seemingly appealing to fit in scores for films.

Some similar artists we though might be relevant to such as The Grails, The Drift and The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz.

Sample their music at MySpace now.
