“The words come out like rats leaving a sinking ship”
A round of “Applause” (name of the debut) for their first album and again for their second. “Rats” is that kind of record which will definitely become one of our favorites. It is a round piece of music from the beginning to the end which doesn’t mean that it smooths you the whole way. Therefore the lyrics are way to poetic and deep. It’s easy to compare music with this time of the year. But it feels like “Rats” has been made for this season where everything changes, people are thoughtful, wandering around dreamly and worried about the things that will come.
I see an abandoned city covered in fog in front of my eyes. It´s quiet and peaceful. Lonesome people seeking the last places that are still open. All of them will eventually gather in the same place and talk about the sinking ship, sad and happy at the same time.
Throughout the album a strong bass gives a real nice groove to all the beautiful tracks. It catches you immediately and makes you wish to hear that music live. Luckily this is possible:
on the 8th of November at HBC, Berlin.
