I picked up "Küss Mich, Meine Liebe" for the aesthetics of the cover art and discovered my favorite new artist in the last 10 years. I'm as excited as I was after blind-purchasing my first Swans or Death In June record and can't wait to grab the rest of their titles. Don't really know how to say what kind of music it is, but it's _heavy_ and I've never heard anything quite like it.
It's dense and there are layers of instrumentation that only hint as tiny grains in the mix. It pounds ahead aggressively and one might wonder whether a drummer or a machine is responsible. It's a loud record by nature and gets better at increasing volume. Many of the tracks are long and all are deeply intricate though brutally simple and repetitive on the surface. It's not metal, it's not techno ... there's a somehow classic industrial feeling to it but not like 1st, 2nd, 3rd wave examples that are known to me. A very vague recommendation this turns out to be - but a strong one.
