Bilderbuch
Slick, stylish art-pop that pairs funk-inflected guitars with a high-fashion swagger. It is the sound of a modern European summer spent in the city.

Bilderbuch is a seminal Austrian band that redefined the landscape of German-language rock in the 2010s. Formed in 2005, they initially operated within the indie-rock sphere before their 2015 breakthrough 'Schick Schock' pivoted toward a highly stylized blend of funk, R&B, and art-pop.
Led by the charismatic Maurice Ernst, the band is noted for its sophisticated use of imagery, fashion, and language, often subverting traditional rock tropes with a dandy-esque persona. Their career arc shows a restless desire for reinvention, moving from the aggressive grooves of their mid-period into more experimental, atmospheric territories in 'mea culpa' and 'Vernissage My Heart'. Critically, they are lauded for bridging the gap between mainstream pop appeal and avant-garde sensibilities. They occupy a unique cultural position as the leaders of a 'new wave' of Austrian music, influencing a generation of artists to embrace local identity while maintaining a global, high-gloss sonic standard.
