BAYERISCHER RUNDFUNK


„Stefanie Boltz and Sven Faller know how to create suspense and they succeed at keeping it up for a whole night. These are not just cover versions of jazz and pop by an extraordinary duo, their arrangements extract the pure essence of the composition.

Armed with just a voice and a bass, Stefanie Boltz and Sven Faller have ventured into stepping onto any stage of any size for six years now.

The stunned audience looks on as the two musicians feed each other lines out of the moment. Sometimes he might take a familiar song classic for one of Le Bang Bang’s imaginative original compositions.

Consequently, the duo chose to bare all for the cover artwork of their new album “Pure” - as pure as they prefer their music.

To closely capture the intimacy of their live performances, Boltz and Faller recorded directly on stage during their 2016 tour - mostly after the applause had faded and the audience was gone...
