“Always off-kilter and sometimes bewildering, Clemens Bacher’s (aka CID RIM) Songs of Vienna is a constantly shifting record. One minute it has the lo-fi noodlings of early Metronomy, as in the latter half of ‘Last Snow’; the next it combines maximalist melodies and bombastic rhythms with Bacher’s fragile, autotuned vocals, bringing to mind The Age of Adz-era Sufjan Stevens.
While it is fun to try”
