SLUT
Slut is a pioneering German indie band that had a breakthrough in the 90s with noise hits like “Sensation”. In the 00s, Slut conquered music television with singles such as "It Was Easier" or "Easy To Love", with their songs from the "Three Penny Opera" and the sound novella "Corpus Delicti" developed together with the writer Juli Zeh. The band from Ingolstadt / Munich proved, how well pop and high culture can be combined. Now there is finally new music coming up, which leads to the question: Why did it take so damn long? After a longer hiatus and first writing excursions to Athens and Rome in 2017 the idea of starting a new album solidified, with a production that keeps away from everything that is familiar, no relapse into old patterns, no treading on well-trodden paths, both in terms of content and structure. "I mostly sang into a kind of airless room without any plans or concepts," explains singer Chris Neuburger. Where otherwise guitars and drums set the course, electronically generated surfaces and beats were now available. The basic mood has remained, and it is: melancholic. Neuburger recalls one of the songs from the Rome phase: “It didn't really get caught, which is why we recently transposed it from major to minor. Now it is a slut song." His lyrics quickly adapted to the new approach: "This time there is no coherent narrative, says the singer," but basically they are all love songs: pieces about the emergence, failure, saving and ending love ”.
