Who The Hell Do You Think You Are? Annika Trost

Posted in Culturelle » by :: March 24, 2009

trostAnnika Line Trost is one half of Berlin Electro-Punk duo ‘Cobra Killer’ and successful solo artist in her own right, answers my monthly question ‘Who the Hell Do You Think You Are?’.

‘Trust Me’, is Trost’s second solo album release (Bronzerat records, UK) and is packed with songs of love and loss, sung in German, English and French. Combining twangy surf guitar licks layered against winding drum arrangements. Trost offers the listener a sound experience reminiscent of the fleeting and unnerving elegance of an Angelo Badalamenti/David Lynch movie soundtrack. We asked Annika seven key questions…

I am… someone who knows what she doesn’t want.

I find...men’s chest hair and women’s husky voices…erotic

The last time I cried…was yesterday in the bath

I get angry…when burying my instincts

I like myself because…what other choice do I have?

I hope…one day I will be able to tell the difference between swans and ducks.

Berlin needs…more foulmouthed people
