Advertitis by Inefficient Screws
On "Advertitis", the Berlin-based band Inefficient Screws tell the story of a young man's journey back to his past. The conglomerate of musicians around the songwriter Markus Steidl has grown into a small lo-fi living-room orchestra and recorded its sophomore album with an eleven-member cast, the core being comprised of Markus Steidl (vocals and acoustic guitar), Daniel Kroneberg (electric guitar, a.o. Likeartoise), Dirk Lücken (bass) and Benjamin Arntz (ukulele and mandolin, a.o. Orchestre Miniature In The Park). The multi-instrumentalists Julia Kotowski (entertainment for the braindead) and Sebastian Arnold (mad scientist drummer) were also immensely involved in the recording process. Further strings and brass found their way onto this release through an online call. The record will be released through the indie label beeah-music on April 15, 2011.

Inefficient Screws are a collective of very fluent size, at times even zero, which tries to take itself the least possible amount of serious and still appear serious about it.
