EXCITATION OF PUBLIC EXCITEMENT
Back to the concrete: After two strong EPs ("Sunset over the ruins of gossip" and "TNG"), on March 20th, 2020, Ergerung Publicer Ergerung will release their almost self-titled debut album "EÖE" (Schlappvogel Records / Euphorie).
It's very fortunate that this band exists. Excitement Public excitement should be known to everyone who is interested in German-language music and does not immediately think of fork when they hear the word knife. The ruins of Berlin: the hydrogen lanterns on Sonnenallee shine brightly, beer in cans is sold in the galleries. The asphalt glows. People are hurrying to get home, with the black delivery drones flying overhead, bringing their weekly rations through the automated kitchen windows into their homes. The daily curfew begins in half an hour. Music blares from the traffic control speakers: "Take a break / wait a minute". The bass drives and booms. So this is the sign: the revolution is here. Anja Kasten (vocals), Michael Schmid (drums), Michael Hager (guitar), Laurens Bauer (bass) and Philipp Tögel (synthesizer) are rarely together in one place; part of the band lives in Berlin, the other part in Hamburg. But when they're making music, they're very much in one place. A Place Worth Visiting: Excitement Public Excitement quote their way freely through the history of subversive guitar music: post-punk meets borrowings from Sonic Youth, herbaceous beats meet spherical instrumentals. "EÖE" is a trippy album that uses the sound of the Federal Republic of Germany in the early 80s as a starting point for a transformation into the 21st century. Ideal meets the new buildings to take malaria tablets. The songs are called "Kacke in derjacke", "Blue Teeth" or "Kein Bock auf Frühstück". It's about self-alienation, about the hangover, about not being in your early 20s anymore and still not knowing how your own life will continue. About self-alienation, about cigarettes, boredom and the night. "EÖE" was produced by the duo Balayage, and the album was recorded at Watt'n Sound Studios in Schleswig-Holstein.

ALEXANDER WINKELMANN
Alexander Winkelmann, the politest punk in Germany, sings about almost normal life. We are obviously dealing with new beginnings and despair, with old longings and new satisfaction, with the good and the terrible, and with the Yolofant (»Yolofant«).

What do you do when you can do anything? And what happens when everything stands still? Driving and scratchy, gaga and melancholic. The nineties, the zeros, the 2000s. Punk, pop, indie rock. Winkelmann's debut album, "Thank you for asking," is self-made in the living room and yet brilliantly produced (in Marzahn - by balayage, i.e. garages Uwe and Sebastian Gieck). Accompanied by multiple videos, the album is riddled with hits but also meta and form-conscious — an impossible musical stunt.

The driven voice of the Winkelmann character seems downright manic, it is the offensive expression of a person who is doing very, very well, but who is also very, very sad. Winkelmann believes in the unifying power of the Tempelhofer Flugfeld (»Flugfeld«), he walks alone on a deserted Autobahn (»Autobahn«) and has seen things that have long since disappeared (»Dinge«). He would like to fly his living space to the living space of the loved one ("lockdown"), he would like to wet pizza with lots of hot oil, and will probably never forget the Christmas party of 2019 ("Christmas party").

Ten eccentric-sensitive hymns about the actually beautiful life, intimately close to everyday life in Berlin.
