Amazing jazz interpretations of songs by Nirvana, Klaus Doldinger, Grace Jones, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Talking Heads, Grandbrothers, Dave Pike, Empire of the Sun, Joe Jackson, Eurythmics, and Kruder & Dorfmeister.

Web Web are starting a new chapter with Kover Kover. For the first time in the bands ten-year history, the focus is not on original compositions but exclusively on cover versions a radical change of perspective that nevertheless feels entirely consistent.

The musicians stylistic openness inevitably led to an intriguing question: what would songs by Talking Heads, Kruder & Dorfmeister, or Joe Jackson sound like if they had originally been penned by Web Web? The answer was obvious you simply put these pieces through the distinctive Web Web cosmos.

The idea is to interpret favourite songs from completely different musical worlds in such a way that they fit organically into ones own musical language. The amazing thing is that it wasnt particularly difficult. Because a really good song can be reduced to two essential components: a melody you can sing along to, and a harmonic structure that remains instantly recognisable even in its simplest form.
