Duo 505 is the unlikely pairing of Viennese musicians B. Fleischmann and Herbert Weixelbaum. Fleischmann has been an integral part of the Morr Music family for well over a decade, creating lovely music on the boundaries of electronica and indie pop ever since his debut album 'Pop Loops For Breakfast' from 1999. Weixelbaum on the other hand initially made a name for himself as a chiptune wizard, creating elaborate handheld composition as a member of Vienna's Gameboy Music Club.
After their first release as Duo 505, the mini-album 'Late' from 2004, Fleischmann and Weixelbaum have once again joined forces for 'Walzer Oder Nicht' ('Waltz Or Not'), their new sophomore full length. This time around 8-bit sounds take a backseat to folksy guitars, which nicely complement the album's fragile instrumental electronica beats. The album comes with an equally charming video, created by Frank Ojode Pez.
