sprechgesang
Where it comes from
Unadapted borrowing from German Sprechgesang.
noun
- A form of recitative between speaking and singing. Comedy-music is often defined by the idea that the artist is actually a comic character, yet serious bands such as Dry Cleaning and the Mercury-nominated Black Country, New Road use their deadpan sprechgesang to create a more subtle sincerity gap.
