In 2005 the Vanishing's singer/sax player Jessie Evans moved to Berlin. Then like a personal add from God in an alternate
universe she met Bettina Koster, singer/sax player from the pioneering, John Peel beloved post-punk band Malaria! Although
from diferent generations and cities it seemd like there was no gap between the 80s Berlin that Bettina had reigned over and
San Francisco that Jessie had recently left..A year later the two are (what else?) vox/sax duo Autonervous, with
a self-titled debut album out.
The album 'Autonervous' was recorded at Fraulelein Studio in Berlin, mixed and mastered
by Ingo Krauss at Lost in Space Berlin. Musically it is very unique and cannot be easily
categorized, with influences ranging from pop, new wave, rocksteady, krautrock, latin,
disco, deathrock, film and free jazz. Both women sing and play saxophone and have
created the sound organically, so even though it is electronic it's much more natural;
the atmosphere is loose yet gripping, inviting visitors to come closer - like they want to
catch you in their web but once they do they will shower you with kisses and if you're lucky
throw you on the floor.
