Blumfeld

Blumfeld is a indie-pop band from Hamburg, Germany, which arised from the bands "Arm", "Laut" und "Der schwarze Kanal". The name of the band was coined by the main character of the short story "Blumfeld, ein älterer Junggeselle" by Franz Kafka. Blumfeld are counted among the most significant representatives of the Hamburger Schule (School of Hamburg) and are considered to be one of the most successful combos of the German indie scene. Kafka redirects here. ... Introduction The tagline Wir sind neu in der Hamburger Schule (Whe are new to the Hamburg school) of Tocotronic gave name to a group of rock bands coming from Hamburg in the 90s formed around the LAge DOr label. ...


Blumfeld´s music is characterized by a distinctive dispute of human life in the context of modern consumer society. Fears, depressions, uncertainty, lack of orientation and love as main motive are the most important items, which are made a subject of discussion. The mainly melancholic music is supposed to attract especially listeners with a pessimistic disposition.

Blumfeld, An Elderly Bachelor (Page THREE) (1544 words)
Otherwise Blumfeld calmly drinks his coffee; he is as hungry as though, instead of sleeping last night, he had gone for a long walk; he washes in cold, exceedingly refreshing water, and puts on his clothes.
Blumfeld has the balls to thank for his having left his room much earlier than usual; even the paper he has left unread on the table; in any case he has saved a great deal of time and can now afford to walk slowly.
Blumfeld has tried to make everything particularly clear to this hopelessly dense creature, but for this very reason has repeated everything too often, has in turn too often mentioned keys, room, and wardrobe, and as a result the boy stares at him as though he were rather a seducer than his benefactor.
