No matter how you want to classify the reason – Allstar project or rather Covid-related reduction – the political thrust is the expected one. Schorsch Kamerun, PC Nackt and Mense Reents, with SO MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, not only look at this world from the left, in which categories such as left and right are shifting, but also want to change the situation – in the Marxian sense. The choice of the cover version “Alone they make you one” is logical, the call to the dissatisfied to organize themselves in order to be able to achieve something.
This music is almost ghostly
But – and here comes the surprise – the swaying clay-stone-shards classic becomes a requiem that almost stands still, a spartanly instrumented farewell. Golden Lemon mastermind Cameroon could hardly have been further removed from punk, only occasionally does his theatrical background shine through, and even guests like Sophia Kennedy or actress Yodit Tarikwa can’t prevent reduction reigning.
This music seems almost ghostly, doubtful, cautiously feeling its way through the fog of the present, as if the songs like “Aktien und Effekten” or “Schöner Moment ohne Racismus” want to tell almost everything, if not the left attitude in general , but question your own self-confidence. An album that brilliantly gets to the heart of the uncertainty in left-wing circles without explicitly addressing it.
