The WESTERWAVES - european central punk

The Westerwaves are back with their wildest, punkiest album to date. An incredible collection that includes songs about interplanetary accounting, psychopathic roommates, tunnels, pissing on tourist beaches and the fact that the Westerwaves are not Bob Dylan. And also a waltz about suffragettes and the futility of business.

The first reactions of the specialized media have been extraordinary:

"Finally a band that recognizes the importance of accounting in outer space" (H. Maylor, President of the American Heterodox Accounting Association)

"What the actual fuck is this? Who are these people?" (Lola Lamour, Editor of the Magazine of the National American Woman Suffrage Association)

"The times are indeed a-changing. I wish they had stayd like they were." (Bob Dylan, Nobel Laureate)

Listen! Learn! Enjoy! You are not Bob Dylan either, anyway.

SURPRISE! New shit is out!

In their new single, the Westerwaves team with Pachelbel in order to address two of the most challenging topics of the current millennium: partial differential equations and the obsession of capitalist societies with breasts that resemble particular probability distributions.

With "Neptune's Different Explanation", the Westerwaves present a minimalist rock opera which combines Hamiltonians, local maxima and the search for eternal truths while shamelessly plagiarizing Pachelbel's Canon.

The B-side of the single, "Chi-Square Boobied Girl", reinvents the rock'n'roll rhythms of the 1950s and presents them as if they had been created in an exoplanet where sexual tension is proportional to the similarity of one's breasts to particular continuous probability distributions. The post-feminist anthem that everyone was waiting for.

Enjoy at your own risk in Spotify, Bandcamp or wherever you get your Westerwaves fixes!
