Logic & Olivia

Logic & Olivia are René Anke (vocals, production), Matthias Trompelt (synthesizer, piano) and Tino Weigel (guitar). The German band was already founded in 1999 and in those days named Darkcore. The musical ancestry of the band obviously lies in the eighties and nineties. Since the early days the band members chose the way of combining prevalent synthesizer sounds with alternative music styles. Because of that fact that the experiments in the course of their musical development occasionally led them in both extremes, the stylistic range of the trio today is between pure danceable electronic pop and alternative rocking sound. Always priority have atmosphere within the compositions, a clear electronic sound and vocals varying from strong to emotional. With darkcore they produced and released in eleven years altogether 6 albums autonomously.   2011 the band members decided the renaming of the band into Logic & Olivia. This became necessary after the old band name had caused misunderstandings again and again. By this time the name darkcore had become a special music style over the years and was not comparable with the musical work of the band. In times when the internet became more and more important the trio couldn't have been found there.   With playground of the past the band now releases 2012 their first album as Logic & Olivia. The ten songs of the album tell about longings, emotions and situations of the daily routine and look back into the past again and again. The contents of the texts are used allegorical and they are interpretable in different ways. Within the songs the dominant sounds of the synthesizers come upon the soft and partially estranged appearing guitars in relentless continuity. On the album danceable songs regularly alternate with atmospheric ballads. Finally it is this mixture of synthesizers and guitars witch give the album in its entirety the pleasant and special sound.
