Native Dutchman Marc Jacobs has made a name for himself in Brussels’ music, art, and film scenes as a jack of all trades. Accordingly, Prairie is his solo musical project. With his drones and guitars Jacobs waves the last flags of post-rock, only to lower them again a moment later. Two years ago he already released his first album, titled »Like A Pack of Hounds«, via the Berlin label Shitkatapult; now he presents us – and you – with the new songs off of his next one.
About »SKM 60«
Even if your own memory might initially recall it otherwise, 1997 was a good year for pop music. After all, three labels were founded that still help to define the sound of contemporary pop: Shitkatapult, Karaoke Kalk, and Monika Enterprise. They released and still release albums by T.Raumschmiere and Apparat, Bill Wells and Hauschka, Barbara Morgenstern and Gudrun Gut. Put briefly, they specialise in visionary sounds, clever lyrics (when there are lyrics at all), and yes indeed – hits. All three labels survived the radical industry changes of the early 00s and remain relevant in both pop and electronic music. At »Pop-Kultur«, these Berlin indies celebrate twenty years of label work in a programme focus entitled »SKM60«. The focus consists of concerts, DJ sets, and talks.
