While „What’s The Deal?!“, the celebrated, 2003 LP debut Polydor release by the London raised Singer-Songwriter Lennart A. Salomon was set in the scene as an orchestral Pop spectacle, by the end of that year the Hamburger by choice had reduced his band JEROBEAM down to a trio. In the place of the veritable orchestra, which brought to life the musical opulence of the first born creation, emerged the Miami born Berlin bassist Thomas Merkel and the Hamburger drum and percussion eminence Benny Greb. Already by the end of 2004, JEROBEAM released the second LP with the new cast and made it clear where the trip was going: consistently Salomon / Merkel / Greb deconstructed the many tongued structure of the predecessor and with „Confidential Breakfast“ delivered twelve Pop-Rudimentals, blown into the airwaves with the nonchalance of bell bottoms and the penetrating power of explosive gas. The JEROBEAM Longplayer „How One Becomes What One Is“ to be released in September 08 on Hazelwood proves tellingly that this cracking steadfast earthing of it’s own aesthetic coordinate system, however, was only an unheard pure stepping stone to something that is totally different.



Jerobeam – How One Becomes What One Is (Hazelwood / Indigo)



Dusch-Dusch-Bang! They let enough time go by. It’s no wonder that this new JEROBEAM Album discharges like the pressure release valve of an overheated steam boiler. Is that Pop? Of course it’s Pop! Pop cut out of a corsage with a switchblade and shooed out in front like the artificial rabbit at the greyhound dog races. The Merkel / Greb rhythm fireball shoots off as if God were a high speed train and the Meters a kettle of color. No wonder that with this propulsion, the voice of the master of ceremonies, Salomon, sunk deep in cutting twang guitars and overzealous vibrating Tiger Organ cascades, glides over and over again in Barock highs. That he nevertheless succeeds in imparting the Dionysus stage props the necessary air dried tenderness may be owed to his Hanseatic ancestry, to the few sprinkled in low tempo numbers and the fact that during the recording he was supposedly (at least partially) drug free.
