Von Spar's "Chain Of Command" is a beautiful mesh of worlds

The track is set to feature on upcoming LP Streetlife, which is out 29 April via Tin Angel.

The band have accrued some big-name fans (like Irmin Schmidt and Jaki Liebezeit of Can), as well as a cult following in their native Germany, but Streetlife looks to be the release that propels them into the international consciousness.

"Chain Of Command" - the opener on Streetlife - takes a few core elements of krautrock, but shares more similarities with The National than Neu!. It's a gorgeous, melancholic ode, with tear-stained disco keys, rippling beats, stringy flourishes, and a smooth pop baritone - it's warm and welcoming despite the maudlin overtones, and makes their impending burst into our lives very exciting indeed. This is a cinematic sashay across multiple genres, and far from a cluttered knot of noise, it's a streamlined thing of beauty.

Chris Cummings, aka Marker Starling/Mantler, features on four Streetlife cuts. Scout Niblett (Drag City) and Ada (Pampa Records) also contribute.
