Polo Hofer & Die SchmetterBand - Liebi Marta

Review by jamaika mentsan

Polo Hofer & Die SchmetterBand's album Liebi Marta is a delightful collection of Swiss folk-rock songs that showcases Hofer's talents as a songwriter and performer. The album features a mix of upbeat tracks, such as "Liebi Marta" and "Scharlachrot," and more introspective pieces like "Kummerbuebe" and "D'Ängste." The SchmetterBand's instrumentation adds a lively energy to the songs, with accordion, guitar, and percussion driving the rhythm. Hofer's distinctive voice, with its gravelly timbre and emotive delivery, is the perfect match for the lyrics, which often touch on themes of love, loss, and nostalgia. Liebi Marta is a wonderful addition to Polo Hofer's legacy and a must-listen for fans of Swiss music.
