Retrograde: The experience of freedom, the lightness of free jazz and the depth of the blues merge with rock and swinging grooves to create a network of songs, improvisations and compositions.

The music of Martin Philadelphy is characterized by soulful coolness. With his quartet Retrograde, the colorful dog and restless Tyrolean relies on the charisma of his other musical building sites Elektro Farmer and Trensch, but goes one step further in the direction of catchy, bluesy-jazzy surf rock. The experience of the avant-garde Anything Goes (Cole Porter!), the lightness of free jazz and the deep intimacy of the blues merge with rock and swinging grooves and refine the network of songs and compositions into a multi-layered and exciting sound. But it is not lacking in all kinds of bizarre poetry either!

The unusual combines all these styles and genres and makes Philadelphys Retrograde a sound-strong proof of its trust in intuition and connection to a potential music. Relaxed, serene, casual, but still with determination and an impressive energetic drive.

"For fans of Ry Cooder or Jim Campilongo, you now have another tasty guitar-slinger to check out!", a colleague once said. He beat us to it. (press release)
