The minor chords set a melancholy mood, evoking a rainy Sunday somewhere between a railway station and a phone box. Janosch Moldau’s pop is clearly the perfect match for people with aching hearts and other forms of malaise. Janosch Moldau is the secret hero of this scene, mixing hope, love and longing into an addictive potion and sharing it with these tortured souls. Within the last ten years the musician has published four studio albums, and has toured throughout Europe and in Russia with numerous stars of the electro-pop scene. His third album, "Lovestar", expanded his committed fan base well beyond the borders of Germany. The music clip with the same name as the album was presented exclusively on the music channel MTV/VIVA, introduced with the following apt description: "Melancholy is a key element in Janosch Moldau’s work, wonderfully packaged in addictive sounds à la Depeche Mode, The Cure or Red Flag." Just to be on the safe side, Janosch Moldau has joined forces with Vienna‘s electro veteran, Gerhard Potuznik (Chicks On Speed, Mediengruppe Telekommander, Electronicat, Bunny Lake, Mäuse and more) – the first time he has welcomed any helpers onto his melancholy boat. Thomas Lang (The Robocop Kraus) has also contributed, briefly plugging in his bass for two titles, and adding his massive sound to the already booming synthesizer basses. All the songs on the current LP were written and recorded over the winter months in an Italian albergo on Lake Lugano, which the musician has used as a regular retreat for some time.
