about

Life Is No Movie is Dirk Darmstaedter’s 3rd solo album proper, having recorded a string of fine records before with The Jeremy Days and Me And Cassity. 

Mostly recorded at his home studio in Hamburg, Germany, Life Is No Movie is a musical spread that takes in paeans of teenage escape, drenched in acoustic guitar echo (‚Suitcase Heart’), melodic gems of poppy zeal featuring guitars, more guitars, trumpets and lots of backing vocals (‚1989 Forever’), and slightly weird stories of travels and travails in this our lifetime (‚Life Is No Movie’).
