Nach dem szeneübergreifend gefeierten Debüt \"Scherbenhügel\" droppt die Stuttgarter Band mit \"Kaltental\" jetzt ein zweites Mal eine Bombe über Postpunk Germany - und mit diesem Monster eines Longplayers ist klar: Hier wird keine Welle geritten. Hier wird eine Welle ausgelöst werden. \"Kaltental\" ist der dystopische Soundtrack einer brennenden Welt im Endspiel kapitalistischer Ideologie, zwischen Endzeit und Aufbruch, Resignation und Kampfbereitschaft. Härter, düsterer, dringlicher. Mit einer Mischung aus rasenden Hardcore-Ausbrüchen, klassischen Rock-Elementen, Post-Hardcore-Gitarrenwänden und melodischem Endzeitpop kracht \"Kaltental\" unverschämt souverän durch Genremauern und zerbombt mit radikal-klarsichtigen Texten von Ausnahmesängerin Elena Wolf Gabionenzäune in Vorgärten und Köpfen \"ganz normaler\" Deutscher im Aufrüstungswahnsinn. Ferdinand Führer von Fieser Schwan Recordings hat \"Kaltental\" aufgenommen, gemixt und gemastert und in eine rohe, dröhnende Elegie verwandelt, die aber auch keine Gefangenen auf dem Dancefloor macht. Die antifaschistische Bladerunner-Jeanne d'Arc in mittelalterlicher Rüstung auf dem Cover ist dabei mehr als eine Reminiszenz an revolutionäre Frauenfiguren in Geschichte und Kunst. Das neo-retrofuturistische Artwork der Wiener Fotografin Doris Himmelbauer ist die cineastische Visualisierung eines Albums, das Gewalt, Verletzbarkeit und die Sehnsucht nach einer besseren Welt verhandelt. \"Kaltental\" ist Krieg. Innerlich wie äußerlich. Aber auch ein Urschrei nach Liebe und Solidarität in der unbeirrbaren Überzeugung, dass alles auch ganz anders sein kann.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kidnap Music","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51777870790987,"sku":"R2424-1010","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Red Marble","offer_id":51777894318411,"sku":"R2424-6631","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/00169590.jpg?v=1746546700"},{"product_id":"great-resignation","title":"Great Resignation","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreat Resignation! That's what the mass quitting of bullshit jobs during the coronavirus pandemic is called. The refusal to sell one's labor under the most adverse conditions, when it's barely enough to live on. Even if one has to get back to work soon anyway, if one feels for just a moment that they have the power to paralyze everything, everyone simply stops: value creation, broligarchy, Kaufland, Germany. So, pogendroblem have pulled themselves together again and made a new album. Three years for a new album? Indeed: Great Resignation. Or have they quit their day jobs too little? And if they hate work so much, why did pogendroblem delve even further into the music industry? Sharpening and enduring contradictions. Tolerance of ambiguity. After AWINHSMK was released by Audiolith at the end of 2022, the band went wildly back and forth between pop festivals, punk stages, award ceremonies, and solo shows for self-managed cultural centers or against the far right. Now the follow-up, Great Resignation, is on Kidnap. Of course, the back-pat from the cultural funding agency can't be missed. Twelve tracks, running 1:22 to 2:30. Aesthetically diversified yet cohesive, created under the direction of Gregor Hennig at Studio Nord Bremen, mixed by Daniel Roesberg, and mastered by Christian Bethge. Musically clearer and more pointed than before. Obviously (post-)punk, poppy cuteness, garage vibes, a bit of Hamburg School, a bit of Kraut, somewhat darker guitars, and, of course, bread-slicing machine blasted through FX. Great resignation! The great sadness runs through the record, even in the songs that seem funny at first glance. Because here, pogendroblem has remained true to itself: it's about absurd everyday stories, about subjectification that no longer seems to work. About the fragmentation of society, labor relations, and the left. How to navigate through the time of monsters (Antonio Gramsci), pogendroblem asks. How to continue against fascism and the climate crisis? One thing is clear: things can't go on like this forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kidnap Music","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51861875786059,"sku":"R3661-3482","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Lilac","offer_id":51861887713611,"sku":"R3661-3295","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/00170031.jpg?v=1747908768"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/kidnap-music.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
