Nothing is good and everything could be better. Bad-tempered and confident, focussed and distractible, the Berlin trio Acht Eimer Hühnerherzen seek happiness on their fourth studio album ‘Lieder’ where it crunches in the nylon punk jungle: in the dead end with the turning circle, in the short light nights and the long dark days, at the edges of everyday life, where the scraps of language mourn and dance.
14 montages that start anew 15 times, turn off, move forward - and promise. Where ‘Lieder’ doesn't rush, that's where it's most urgent; where it rumbles, it's smooth; and where it's quiet, it gets loud.’
Robert Zwarg music with a three-quarter scale nylon-string concert guitar, a nylon-string short bass, drums, fuzz and overdrive.
Recorded live and analogue in Studio-B Berlin, on 16-track tape machine, no loops, no beats, no edits, no dogs. Produced by Kurt Ebelhäuser & Smai Shock & Acht Eimer Hühnerherzen.
