“ Doing Good,” my favorite song on the album, has a really memorable guitar line (very similar to a Kings of Leon guitar line that I can’t place) and a little bit of an edge in the vocal delivery. This album would need to take some serious risks to really move Milky Chance up another level. I think a lot of Sadnecessary is pretty good, but there was always a bit of easy-listening folk/reggae hiding behind it. Clemens Rehbein has a voice that reminds me of Honus Honus, but I’ve always wished for the simmering danger that Honus has lurking in his voice. I’ve always been a little bit guarded about getting too into Milky Chance. Until then, we can dance along while they sail close to familiar shores on this one. Maybe they will plumb greater depths on their next album. As for those who have been on board since Sadnecessary, this sophomore effort is an expected dose of energy from a band with a long career ahead of them. Overall, Blossom is a fun starting point for those who are only now discovering Milky Chance. It’s got an infectious, Foals-esque vibe while “Alive” unfolds to reveal a seriously hypnotic bass line. While some tracks on the last half of the album are less exuberant, “Losing You” stands out thanks to its mid-tempo bounce.
You have to trust in someone, trust in someone, trust in someoneĬause the truth is all I need is to see you When everyone you see is just nothing but confused “Blossom” has the right mix of melancholy lyrics framed in an upbeat, radio-friendly hit package: At this point in their career, no one expects them to deviate into uncharted territory. From the album’s title track, they show they aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel.
They know what works best, and they’re sticking to that winning formula here. Clearly these guys know their 18-34 age demographic. The 20-second intro of garbled background chatter evokes the noise of a festival environment. Its jaunty, sun-kissed hooks will sound incredible in a live setting. In other words, they owned that set and made scores of new fans in the process. Their infectious energy and the crowd-pleasing, danceable beats of their live show invigorate even the most sluggish punters hearing this new album brings back familiar happy memories from that first show, especially the mid-album “Clouds” track. Despite having an initially small crowd (it tripled in size rather quickly once they got going), they performed as though they were on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. My first encounter with Milky Chance was at a festival three years ago, just before they’d really found the mainstream spotlight.

The addition in 2015 of new member Antonio Greger (guitar, harmonica, and bass) gives the band a well-rounded sound full of infectious vitality. They have an opportunity to cash in on their instantly compelling style by experimenting with musical elements and adding lyrical depth. With a genre that blends electronic, reggae, and folk elements, Milky Chance run the risk of becoming forgotten hipster-restaurant background music. We’re hoping their new album, Blossom, follows up on the successful 20 they had. On the strength and virality of “Stolen Dance,” Milky Chance have become mainstays in the electronic world.
They released it on their own record label, Lichtdicht. The mixture of Rehbein’s husky voice and subdued delivery with Dausch’s compelling, easily danceable beats took them on a global tour, winning multiple European music awards and racking up millions of YouTube views. High school friends Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch built their debut album, Sadnecessary, in a home studio in Dausch’s parents’ house. Their folktronica hit, “ Stolen Dance“, became a massive hit on Hype Machine and the video for it has amassed over 300 million views on YouTube. In 2013, Germany’s Milky Chance went from two guys in a bedroom with a laptop and an acoustic guitar to one of Hype Machine’s most blogged acts, in what seemed like weeks.
