I’ve got something new to listen to from the Bömmelchens. The new EP "Amoklauf" contains 3 songs, and the title track "Amoklauf" unfortunately doesn’t convince me this time as much as the opener of the previous album "Kummernummer". It somehow lacks a catchy character for me, sorry guys, even though it’s technically well-crafted material, no question about it. Lyrically, "Amoklauf" is very well done, and the song is about a guy who is just losing it. Give it a listen! The second song "Pausengeschwätz" comes across as quite quirky and funny, and I like it musically much better. The song is about, as the name suggests, the silly, pointless chatter of our fellow humans that no one cares about and why we even have to endure it. The third song "Eine Rotphase lang George Orwell" is also lyrically quite thoughtful and deals with the visual stimuli you can capture based on insightful information from the cars of your fellow humans when you’re standing behind them at a traffic light (the initials of the name, or the names of the kids, the school graduation, the sticker from the last amusement park visit, etc.... Information that actually doesn’t interest anyone, but the petty bourgeois has to showcase it, because he always thinks he’s the most important. Funny lyrics, but unfortunately it’s also a bit too slow for me, musically it’s good. Over time, the Bömmelchens on this record are simply too calm for me; I prefer it a bit rougher, but the lyrics are all absolutely great and worth listening to, and for those who like it a bit quieter, this is a safe bet. 5 out of 10 this time, guys!
