Album description

de This text is not available in your chosen language, we are displaying it in its original language.

Personen besteht aus einem musikalisch wie textlich recht bunten Mix unterschiedlicher Charaktäre. Es geht um Personen, die sich auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise vorstellen, ihre Leidenschaften und Probleme darstellen sowie häufig von einer Wandlung in ihrem Leben berichten. Manche Berichte haben ihren ganz eigenen Humor, manche sind hingegen recht ernst, manche eher sachlich. Und so unterschiedlich wie diese Personen ist auch die Musik, die die sprechgesanglichen Erzählungen begleitet. Manches ist tanzbar, manches eher entspannend, wobei sich unterschiedliche Stile abwechseln. Eine eindeutige Genre-Einordnung ist deshalb beim besten Willen nicht möglich. Thematisch hingegen lässt sich ein roter Faden feststellen: es ist die Faszination der unterschiedlichen Lebensweisen und ihrer ganz eigenen Perspektiven sowie der unterschiedlichen Wandlungen, die sich in einem Leben vollziehen. Ich hoffe, ihr werdet Spass haben – an der Musik und an den Texten.

p.s.: Übereinstimmungen mit realen Personen wären wirklich rein zufällig.

okay, so i'm a biased jerk. when i hear "Deutsche rap", i think Aggro Berlin and Sido. i don't think Seventies groove guitars, artistic album structure or social observation that actually observes more than crack, bitches and bling, and i sure as shit didn't expect this: Personen is a unique album, done in a bizarre style that sounds like the bastard child of hip-hop and indie rock.

because of this, obviously, it ain't gonna be everyone's thing. more traditional rap fans are gonna be pissed off to the core by the guitar motif - that Seventies groove i was talking about - that resurfaces under the skin of every single track on the entire album, even on tracks like Der Pate or Der Ethnologe where i would've said it really didn't fit with the song, and even though i speak both languages, it still weirds me out to hear an artist mish-mashing German and English together (Der Pate does this a hell of a lot, and it's not the only one).

but Personen shines through its faults. it runs like a play, or a vicious video documentary: the characters are fiction, but sharply observed and theatrically exaggerated so you recognise them from your own life, or from your own imagination. it's like a caricature of the city's inhabitants, or an exhibition of what we see of them, and it's something even those who hate groove, art and indie can empathise with. the vocals are smooth and flowing, the backing thematic if slightly repetitive, and the concept utterly unique. listen, and see if it changes your own impressions of your home's Personen.
