After the free EP "zero", the inaudible to the scratched partially hard and for listeners and for the artist represented a borderline experience itself, Maeckes published now his long-awaited solo album "KIDS" which exceeded my lofty expectations. Musically, the album is extremely varied, so join the partially driving melodies, as in "childish as you" also difficult rippling such as in 'greyscale rainbow ". Advance the album was already announced as "the suicide note of a child," I can confirm after the hearing. Even if there is no self-contained plot a red thread through the whole album and so the album often acts as a snapshot of a disillusioned young people left alone. Lyric is the work, as was otherwise expect from Maeckes, terrific. Abstract, strong images or beautifully melancholy metaphors are found in abundance in every piece. That's why the album also designed especial durable because one discovers new aspects even after repeated listening repeatedly. So I can put this masterpiece every fond who is interested in even the remotest of demanding German recitative.
