Kettcar
Grand Hotel van CleefVersatile release on BioVinyl
With „Gute Laune ungerecht verteilt“, Kettcar, as representatives of the „Hamburger Schule“, have not only released their sixth studio album, but have also chosen an album title that perfectly captures the wit of the times.
Seven years after their last album release, they seamlessly pick up on earlier works. Although the reflection on social developments in their German lyrics is characterised by a certain pessimism, this is balanced out by hopeful wordplay and powerful, energetic music. Lyrics such as „Und nicht alle in Hamburg wollen zu ‚König der Löwen’“ („And not everyone in Hamburg wants to go to ‚The Lion King’“), „Turnschuhe, so weiß wie Aspirin“ („Trainers as white as aspirin“) and „Bevor die letzte Hoffnung schwindet … Ein Bengalo in der Nacht … Bevor die Dunkelheit Dich findet …“ („Before the last hope fades … A Bengalo in the night … Before the darkness finds you …“) demonstrate this impressively.
In addition to four record versions as 12inch long players, we also produced a total of four different coloured 7inch singles for „Auch für mich 6. Stunde“ in Orange, „München“ in Yellow, „Doug & Florence“ in Purple and „Ein Brief meines 20-jährigen Ichs (Jedes Ideal ist ein Richter)“ in Dark Green. All singles were pressed on BioVinyl and packaged in „inside out“ printed discobags and white inner sleeves.
