Diskurspop. Schlager. Intelligent art pop. Genuinely Austrian, yet genuinely global. Trying to describe Karl Schwamberger’s one-man project Laokoongruppe is a tricky project. One thing is for sure, however: Laokoongruppe is one of the most exciting things happening in music in Austria today. The combination of traditional folk music elements with techno beats, cutting lyrics, and a heartfelt voice has won Schwamberger plaudits from critics and audience alike.
