::GET ALONG WITH ... THE DIALEKT EP:: 2008
We would throroughly recommend listening to our new EP, 'Get along with ... TheDialekt', just uploaded to myspace.com/thedialekt, if you can answer 'yes' to the majority of these criteria:
1. You believe, or perhaps know, that Margaret Thatcher is a witch. A nasty one, probably from the West, who continues to disrespect the British people by not topping herself, preferrably with a rifle, on live national television. Or at least apologising for being a witch (like, "Sorry everyone, I really am, but it was kind of your fault for electing me three times in a row, innit?"). This is the supposition of track one. Natasha Kaplinsky will get the same treatment on our next EP.
2. You agree that sometimes - irrespective of how many things are, on paper, great - life can be a bit shit. It's impossible to tire of using the English football team for all it analogous worth, because the English football team is life. I know, weird, but you look at it and go, yeah, that's great and that's great and he's a real looker, and then it just fizzles out like the last, luke-warm drips of your pre-bedtime piddle. And then it gets flushed away. The only thing I can think of in life that consistently delivers, that is never disappointing and always makes me happy, is a pair of naked breasts. If you're in any way with me on this one, make a bee-line for track two.
3. You have, at some point in your life, been royally fucked over by someone you really wanted to be with. The great thing about writing 'shit, she doesn't want me' songs is that everyone knows that feeling. If you don't know that feeling, don't listen to track three. Go out and live a little instead. You're probably too smug and self-satisfied to enjoy pop music anyway. Git. Incidentally, an appreciation of the (let's be honest, fairly hit-and-miss) poetry of Oscar Wilde will massively enhance your enjoyment of track three. A bit like a pair of 3D glasses would at a funfair.
Go give it a listen, people, without forgetting to swing by thedialekt.com for an extra helping of pop-pudding. We'll be pressing it up into CDs at some point in the future, and might even make it (I just can't get to grips with this word) downloadable for a short time, so watch this space. Through 3D glasses.
::[CU] NEXT TUESDAY EP:: 2007
Discover why relationships can be such fickle things, learn that the world is no longer a black and white film, ponder the link between hormones and religion, enjoy some frankly impressive stereo keyboard noises, jump up and down, spot the missing gism and inexplicably feel better about yourself. All in a shade over ten minutes.

:WHAT IT IS WE DO::
On a bad day, we moan about the dark; hunger for hunger; discuss, at length, the brunette from the cafe; come to no conclusions; fail to keep our chops up, as Randy would have it; break strings but not hearts; argue with a keyboard part; lose the argument; procrastinate until night fall; repeat.
On a good day, we tear things apart; laugh about language; find a spark for the gas heater; make a racket and then re-string it; agree that swearing is both big and clever; graft;laugh; make stuff up; talk to the brunette from the cafe; decide that it's a really great tune; make people giggle as if they' ve done something naughty; animate; put it all back together.
So turn up the stereo and get ready to smile. The Dialekt have suffered for your enjoyment.
::WHERE WE COME FROM::
The Dialekt firmly believe in that old saying, "Contentment is the enemy of invention." Which is why four different people from London, Wales, Swabia
and Seattle moved to Berlin, one of Europe's poorest and coldest cities, to make music. Being perverse is more important than being comfortable. Or warm.
Everything slows down in the cold - water, libidos, atoms. Everything apart from the desire to make great music.
