You have probably heard the old saying: "Everything but the kitchen sink". The thing is, when you listen to Gruber, you might be listening to that as well! Gruber has taken the art of sampling into a whole new area. In one of their songs they use a sample of someone gargling in the bathroom, but it is so cleverly done that you would never guess the source of the sound. It just fits so well. Its this kind of attention to detail which sets Gruber apart from other electro-pop acts.

The band is comprised from two multi-instrumentalists with a long history together. Benno (Dr. Bernard) and Edith (Frau Gruber) have played in all kinds of bands together for almost 2 decades. The strange thing is they still sound fresh and exciting. If you ask the duo why this is, they will tell you that they are always pushing the boundaries of possibilites both in terms of their own musical skills but in also finding ways of incorporating new ideas and sounds into their music.

So...next time you see someone wandering around the streets with a Dictaphone, it might just be Dr and Frau Gruber searching for new inspiration. They've used gargling already, so whatever next one wonders?
