The self-titled new album from German alternative rock high-flyers STAUBKIND is an ultra-catchy emotional tour de force, graced with a massive production by UNHEILIG producer Henning Verlage.
"And now you're here, you've arrived... go catch your dreams, dust child!" These words narrated by a sonorous male voice in the intro of the new album couldn't be more apt, as listening to this release really feels like finally arriving at a destination after a long journey. The songs are wonderfully consistent, immediately catchy and bring out the entire bandwidth of emotions in the group's music in a perfectly balanced interplay of massive walls of sound with fragile intimacy. STAUBKIND's newest outing effectively mingles sensitive moments (like in the hit singles "So Nah Bei Mir" and "Kannst Du Mich Seh'n") with driving alternative rock attacks and a moving finale that slowly evolves into an orchestral climax. All the while, STAUBKIND keep the music and lyrics unpretentious, direct and honest: cinematic moments, intimate emotions and the feeling of an unbridled summer storm.
This special, limited 2CD edition of the album contains an exclusive bonus disc with symphonic unplugged versions of five of the band's tunes. This is modern, German-language alternative rock music at its best! Go catch your dreams!
