Blümchen Blau brought urgent new wave and punk energy to Austria's early 1980s underground. Wie Die Tiere captures the band at a creatively restless moment, mixing punk's raw urgency with new wave's experimental ambitions. The cassette format preserves their lo-fi intensity, with sharp, economical songs that never overstay their welcome. The production has that characteristic cheapness of early 80s punk and new wave, where limitations bred creativity rather than polished excess. Tracks move from straightforward punk assault to more experimental territory, showing a band unafraid to challenge themselves and their audience. Essential for anyone interested in Austrian post-punk history.
