Biography

With a name that alludes to Germany's southern region as well as a decongestant, it's not surprising that Von Südenfed make mischievous, boundary-blurring music. A project of Mouse on Mars' Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner and Fall vocalist Mark E. Smith, Von Südenfed pit Smith's inimitable lyrics and vocals against Toma and St. Werner's sounds, which borrow from electro, disco, dubstep, grime, and more. The trio originally worked together on an alternate version of Mouse on Mars' "Wipe That Sound," which appeared on their 2004 album, Radical Connector, and enjoyed the collaboration so much that it spawned Von Südenfed. In 2007, the single "Fledermaus Can't Get Enough" heralded the release of the full-length Tromatic Reflexxions, which arrived that summer. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

History

The three first collaborated on a 2004 12" double A-side entitled "Wipe that Sound"/"Cut the Gain", which was released on the Sonig label. This was followed by a full-length album, Tromatic Reflexxions, released on Domino Records in 2007, with two singles being drawn from the album.

The collaboration might seem unlikely in that the artists are from two very different musical genres. It has drawn comparisons to John Lydon's collaboration with Leftfield on the track "Open Up", which is similar in spirit, if not in sound.[1]

Von Südenfed have been compared to LCD Soundsystem in reviews; Mark E. Smith expressed displeasure at this comparison in interviews, and drew attention to the fact that LCD Soundsystem are heavily influenced by The Fall.[1]

In December 2007, Mark E. Smith advised The Fall online website that he had been "sacked" in a statement defending the cancellation of two December 2007 shows due to illness.[2] However, the group have performed since and Smith has indicated that a second album is probable.[3]
