About:
In 2013, Glenn Kirchner and Karl Unsichtbar formed Zurückspulen to fill an important niche; music that transcends time. Having been heavily influenced by the pioneering bands of the "Some Bizzare Album" released in 1981, they do their best to stay true to the style. Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, The The, B-Movie, Blancmange, Naked Lunch, etc, all got their start on that compilation album. In fact, Zurückspulen was found by and is now signed to "Accidental Music", a label started by Morgan King, whose career began on the Some Bizzare Album with the band "Illustration". If Zurückspulen's music makes you feel like you have transcended time, they have done their job. You can listen to most of their music for free on SoundCloud or Spotify, but if you care to take their tunes on the go, their albums are available for purchase just about anywhere music is sold.
