Following the motto of one of their songs "Wir Können Auch Anders" ('we can do things differently'), charismatic singer AndyK and his lads not only manage to showcase that their songs also work darn well in English, but also why they are one of the most versatile, exciting and gripping acts to emerge from the German electro-pop scene (and to transcend far beyond its boundaries).
The title track "Stuck in the Mirror" sports a solid beat and heavy sequencers that flow seamlessly into a breezy chorus: an addictive club hit that gives a pretty good glimpse into what might have happened if early A-HA had developed a soft spot for EBM. With the gripping remake of their classic "Folge Mir ins Licht" that sees the band collaborate with Soprano Lauren Francis, they plunge the listener from a searing hot dance party into a deep ocean of emotions, just to emerge again with the two mid-tempo smashers "Erase" and "Angst und Wahn".
Singer AndyK then steers the band back into clubby waters with his remix of the title song, before the instrumental track "Ohne Worte" serves as a soft transition to deliver the listener back into his or her harsh reality, filled with an irresistible longing for more. MELOTRON have the courage to be simultaneously catchy, dancefloor compatible and outright emotional, which renders them one of the most unique bands of their particular genre and keeps the expectations up for their upcoming CD "Werkschau".
"Stuck in the Mirror" is limited to 1000 copies and is released in a classy, hand-numbered digipak.
