Ach, Die Menschen

With "Ach, die Menschen" (Oh, the People), Keimzeit presents their 14th studio album – a work that once again confirms the band's position as a confident and independent force within the German music scene. Unfazed by trends, Keimzeit focuses on continuity, poetic observations, and musical serenity. At the heart of the album are the characteristic lyrics of Norbert Leisegang, which capture everyday moments, humanity, and subtle nuances with loving precision. From reggae influences ("Bummelzug" - Slow Train) and chanson-like storytelling ("Fasching im Februar" - Carnival in February) to folk-rock elements ("Gute Fee" - Good Fairy) and rock-psychedelic moments ("Stern" - Star), the album showcases the band's stylistic range. Personal themes, such as in "Therapie" (Therapy), and humorous miniatures like "Sultan tanzt Samba" (Sultan Dances Samba) also contribute to a warm and relatable overall impression. "Ach, die Menschen" is a thoroughly typical Keimzeit album - poetic, grounded, musically free-spirited and full of loving everyday parables.
