Well, what will be the most dropped line from the new Erdmöbel album this time? I’m guessing “All my fears start a big band, the Big Band of the Federal Office for Immortality at Sunrise” (from “Prohibition of Accommodation”). To start with, Erdmöbel give us a friendly “Good morning”, the reggae furniture with bass and horn drive is new in the catalogue.

“Nothing is just something, don’t worry,” sings Markus Berges and offers “coffee or tea” in the slightly meandering chant at the beginning of the day. Berges, multi-instrumentalist Ekki Maas, keyboarder Wolfgang Proppe and drummer Christian Wübben have selected ten songs for their new studio album and recorded them in a dry prosa-pop style.
Now we hear the grammar pushing pop, the words and the thoughts they denote rearranging themselves, the words (which we’re also just getting to know like a new roommate) forming into melodies, and what beautiful ones Melodies are, to the guitar, to the piano (sparkling), everything in the service of our mental cinema.
With “Palindrome” it gets onomatopoeic because we don’t know Japanese, with the funky autotune pop song “Supermond” we hear the syllables dancing and want to jump right in. And tick the refugee song “We are not the people (let them in)”. I won’t reveal what Al Bano and Romina Power, “The Bernoulli Effect” and “The Girl on the Steps”, who becomes a particle accelerator, are doing here. It was a pleasure for me to have started the day with earth furniture.
