Wir Sind Helden - The NEW New German Wave makes us forget how much we secretly liked Falco.
Von Hier an Blind
I first heard this band on MTV Germany while I was in Germany this past summer. I didn't purchase the CD while I was there because it just sounded good, not amazing (at the time mind you). My attention was diverted to Fler, a German gangsta' rapper that just flat out did it for me. I did how ever take a picture of the CD by Wir Sind Helden so that I could look for it when I got home. Of course this was impossible, until I learn German that is, So I downloaded it and fell in love. Today I still kick myself for not purchasing this amazing bands entire collection when I had the chance.
They sound like The Cardigans, Death Cab For Cutie, and Beck (when they are funky, not on this song). Keep in mind its a female vocalist.
Part of their website is in English, hopefully more will be soon.
