Songwriter Felix Kramer brings the modern Viennese song to the Ankersaal
The Austrian singer-songwriter Felix Kramer is considered a new star in the Austropop sky and will show his musical world of modern Viennese songs with folk guitar and melancholic dialect singing on Friday, April 26th, 20.00 p.m. in the Ankersaal.
Kramer creates special Viennese chansons with influences from Ludwig Hirsch, Leonard Cohen or the band Element of Crime, but also from chansonniers like Jacques Brel or Bob Dylan. Felix Kramer implements his mixture of folk rock, synthesizer sounds and drum machines easily, with musical sophistication and a good portion of Viennese humor in his live concerts. He is considered one of the representatives of the new Austropop, which is reinventing itself through more and more young Austrian artists who sing in the Viennese dialect, but leave traditional musical clichés behind them or enrich them with indie influences, neo-pop or alternative.
With his third album “Oh how beautiful life is,” Felix Kramer finds fulfillment in songs about envy, the pressure to succeed and the meditative rejection of supposed capitalist constraints. The broad grin that Kramer has on his face on the cover of the album is just as sincere as the pink cotton candy he is holding in his hand while standing in front of the Prater. This album is a declaration of love for life in the firm knowledge of its dark sides and abysses. You can feel that the trained guitarist went through the classic songwriting school, studied composition and knows exactly what he is doing, but he translates the knowledge he has gained in an original and individual way. Kramer's Viennese Schmäh gives these songs a lightness that suits them well because he uses a natural approach to it. The Viennese accent is unmistakably there, but is not over-stylized or deliberately turned towards an Austropop cliché.
