Biography
Hailing from Munich, Karl Hector & the Malcouns blend Krautrock, neo-psychedelia, jazz-funk, and Afro-beat in their music. Led by guitarist and producer JJ Whitefield, the band's eclectic sound has garnered a dedicated following known as the "Cult of the Malcouns." Despite infrequent recording, their releases, including Sahara Swing and Non Ex-Orbis, have received critical acclaim for their unique global aesthetic and fusion of influences.
Formed in 2001 during a break from Poets of Rhythm, Karl Hector & the Malcouns emerged as a distinct project with a focus on a more global sound compared to Whitefield's other bands. With a lineup that has evolved over the years, the band's discography includes singles and albums that draw from a wide range of musical influences, from James Brown and Fela Kuti to Ethio-jazz and prog rock. Their most recent album, Non Ex-Orbis, delves into the experimental German rock scene of the 1970s, paying homage to influential bands like Amon Düül and Popol Vuh.
