According to the press release, the follow-up to 2019's Nackt, is more epic and filigree and will be released on November 5 via Tapete Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Levin finally wanted to get away from the one-man band image, and especially during the isolation of the Corona period - without appearances and rehearsals together - he dreamed of loud, driving live music with epic, big moments, loud guitars, real drums, deeper ones Bass. Collectively as a band, we worked continuously on the songs with Thomas Zehnle and Paul Schwarz, as far as it was possible due to the pandemic.
This desire for more toughness led Levin Stadler, who continues to write the lyrics alone, to more intimate, but equally explicit and direct lyrics (“I turn and bend, shoot me, give me your kiss, lover”). For the first time, both languages, German and English, are represented on the album.
“Red” is clearly the most personal and intimate work to date, hence the choice of the title with the most emotionally charged color. Shortly before the lockdown isolation, the singer's long standing relationship broke up, also due to this existential experience of being alone, most of the songs on the album deal with the subjects of anger, love and desire. There are parallels to Roxy Music, Robert Görl and The Cure - all music Levin grew up with and which influences him to this day.
