The new album brings together familiar indie pop moments in the typical star sound, but also unexpected reinventions. In addition to German lyrics, there are English-language songs, post-punk influences, and Dyan Valdés takes over the lead vocals on two tracks. Instead of the hundredth repetition, the album sounds like a new beginning - fresh, pointed, humorous and uncompromising. The single "Ich nahme das Amt nicht an" relies on a massive riff, a driving beat and an energy inspired by greats like Jack White or T. Rex. Singer and frontman Frank Spilker describes the song as "riff rock" - an outlet for the irrationality and discourse refusal that characterizes our time. In terms of content, the song takes aim at the renaissance of the irrational: the loss of argument-driven debates, the turning away from facts, the escalations that have long since turned into violence. Spilker formulates sharply, ironically and at the same time frighteningly topical - and thus shows once again how precisely Die Sterne translate social developments into music.
