I don't know what it is, but it is something.
For 36 years, a ghost has been haunting the music scene - the ghost of slang punk. It goes by the name Attwenger, cannot be captured, and regularly appears in its current form in public. What is Attwenger coming up with this time? With "wos," the tenth studio album. After most, pflug, luft, song, sun, dog, flux, spot, drum.
What is it. Is it something. What is happening now.
The electrified accordion draws air from its surroundings, compresses it, and blows it through metallic tongues that vibrate and produce sounds, sending them back into the environment. The beats of the drums and the sequencer provide a stable yet restless pulse from different sound sources that create the rhythm. Everything is interwoven with fraying words, invented, experienced, and selected texts that play with language, which forms the nutrient for the voice of the subconscious and conscious. Whirled up by the music, the stories groove along.
Whatever it is, it is always something.
Many no longer know how and where. The high-pitched mood creates tensions. They are already turning on each other. Only: I don’t want to ride on the horses that have been saddled. Between the lines, there are possibilities that can be used for interesting exits. But too much is believed, too much is needed. We could easily get by with less. The distribution of wealth, the distribution of interests, the distribution of music, what will come of it? It won't stay like this, nor can it stay like this anyway. When will society relax? How will it achieve equality? The strong wind drives us along, while we wanted to make a move ourselves. What will trigger it, from within or from outside? You are King, I am Kong, who is right, who is wrong. And even if everyone is on their phones and some find a hair in the soup: we continue with energetic positions on shaky ground. We don’t have to do what they say we must.
Is it something. Has something. Buy something. Will something.
