Sunday Times, CD Review >>
Our world grows smaller and smaller: 17 Hippies may be based in Berlin, but the band's repertoire wanders from the Balkans to a Parisian cafe, not forgetting a quick sortie into the American borderlands. SO much traveling could easily result in a collection of tourist kitsch, but their postmodern ramblings, with horns and strings mixed with unpretentious, multilingual vocals, are conducted in just the right inquisitive spirit. One minute revving up like a supercharged gypsy band, the next delivering a pastoral treatment of the old pop hit Apache, the German musicians (there are actually 13 of them, plus two guests) come across as a more genial version of that restless French collective Lo'Jo. 02/03/08 >> go there
