Do not dream your life, live your dream? Ah, snout. Anyone looking for a reason to get up is in the wrong place when it comes to tooth decay. The people of Stuttgart know that dreams are foam. Except maybe for nightmares. “Are you scared? Are you lying awake?” whispers Benjamin Klaus Schröter with an effect-laden voice, while “Im Morgenlicht” puts his icy industrial-ambient fingers around the throat.

And now at the latest you have to answer yes. Reality is still the nastiest nightmare. Like their friends from DieNERS, Karies sanded down the harsh guitar noise of earlier albums on TAGTRÄUME AN DER SCHAUMASCHINE I and applied a fine layer of pop and new wave.
There is even a gentle sense of humor when the band chases a certain “Willy” through the hamster wheel to a bouncy drumbeat and mystery electronics. But even in the synthwave fog or to the sluggish twang guitar it shivers, while the crows are approaching from the hinterland (“Laguna Seca”) and the “Caribbean” is apparently only bearable on sedative. “If it melts away like snow, it doesn’t hurt anymore,” says Schröter. So, nothing is melting here. And the goosebumps remain.
