About this product
From the outset, Ernst Krenek stood between the sometimes antagonistic musical worlds of his mentor Franz Schreker, on the one hand, who wrote in the world of late Romanticism, and Arnold Schoenberg, on the other, who broke new ground. So, his own development towards becoming a unique personality in modern music history progressed correspondingly slowly. In his subsequent travelling years, as a composer he was on a quest for new means of expression, finally culminating in two such contrasting works as the jazz opera Jonny spielt auf and the technically strictly twelve-tone opera Karl V. Afterwards, he occasionally resorted to these earlier stylistic devices like we can hear on this recording as example of the 1927 composed Potpourri and years later written Tricks and Trifles (1945)

![Stealing Sheep - Big Wows - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/ac437f9a-3097-4b26-9ccd-cde2467a6ca1.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Big Wows is heavier, harder and weirder than Stealing Sheep's previous work. Bold neon pop songs with rave percussion, steelpans, dreamy segues and breathy experiments. The *fsszzt* sound of lemonade opens the album with a hyper-real sense of optimism that progressively reveals the cracks of dystopian irony amidst sugar - coated pop; held together by Emily Lansley's bass guitar, Luciana Mercer's drum kit, Rebecca Hawley's synths, and the trio's swooning steely vocal harmonies. Just as the title suggests, Big Wows is both cynical and optimistic dreaminess and pop dance rhythms are cut with eye rolling vocal styles inflected by heartfelt lyrical messages. InchWe hit upon this conversational-style between the vocals and have alternating lead melodies,Inch Bex adds. InchThere's a sarcastic tone to some of the music but there is always a strong willfulness to incorporate honest integrity, which is hard to do but refreshing when it finally comes out.Inch
