Just CHAPEAU!

Internal 11 months !!!!! after the debut album the guys from Cologne Kasalla now publish the second album titled ALWAYS EN BEWÄJUNG! The debut was praised rightly so from all sides in the sky, but it was after years of drought in the young field of Kölsch music scene one of the very rare, real bright spots. The first single PIRATE went in carnival like a rocket through the roof and took home prices a churning and the customary sequence so would now actually have been that a follow-up work in such a short time contains at least 5 PIRATE-imitation-successor Singles and otherwise just filler for the ton. So at least it would run at 99% of the bands so. But not at Kasalla! The guys put an album that the debut not only tops, it impresses as the first fruits - by musical range, songschreiberischem talent and above all it is to untern brimming with wonderful texts. But all a tick better, more mature and again quality than the debut. Could not care less whether fun numbers like yummy yummy, a radio-bomb as HÄTZENSBRECHER that actually cracking the JAN - Deelay times just like Reinhold Messner makes you look in front of the Yeti, the almost philosophical The river and the wonderful PROPERTY JESTERN OP ARIES SINN - incomprehensible what incredible quality mainly Flo Peil and Basti Campmann effortlessly shake out of his sleeve. In this context, it also mentioned that Kasalla tie in pieces like HOME ES, where the cathedral ES or baby, ET WEED SUMMER, a tradition that has so far been mainly the PAVEIERN, the Fööss and BRINGS reserved in lyrically namely kölsche peculiarities / so fail to pack sensitivities in a text that everyone who comes from Cologne, has lived there longer or simply can identify with the lifestyle of the cathedral city, immediately has a smile on his face, because he knows exactly what the guys in the my lines and has already experienced the feeling itself x times. I suppose here BAP, Tommy Engel, Köster / Hocker, the Bläck Fööss and Brings expressly from my criticism, but when I see what is often delivered in Cologne from other bands of music and lyrics that have long been in the business, gapes here quite an amazing quality gap. Despite a big hit single PIRATE on the debut can be found on the 2nd album not an attempt frantically to fabricate a successor for PIRATE. Kasalla embark not even in the approach on the cheap Ballermann Apres Ski Party boom-boom music track to marketing technically scatter better in many usual pabulum about their music. To have alone the courage, select with STILL DO slow piece for the session 2013 ultimately the best proof that the guys have a pretty good sense of how a) surprised the audience and b) the live test new pieces evaluates intelligent , You just do your thing and will continue to pursue that does it all, KÖLSCH MUST line of approach with consistent Kölsch texts and musical diversity, as they can not offer the Cologne band otherwise. Here, as a matter of course, a wonderful piece after another delivered, sometimes rock, sometimes wireless, sometimes dancehall, sometimes ballad, sometimes chilled summer sound, it will be abated in all styles, but it's always original, never ingratiate itself and bursting from the first to the last number before power, feeling and honest, very good, musical craft. Well, the Bläck Fööss that time her ex-roadie King Dick times have left the microphone, however, what comes out at Kasalla if I eat meat at K. (meant tape technician Jens Knöttgen is) the vocal takes, really beats everything! The ass, you first have to have the pants, so cool and easy to produce a Rammstein-like number of Kölsch! Hilarious and totally awesome! No, really not a band from Cologne not even the sacred Fööss has ever managed, within 12 months to bring out 2 new CDs. That the whole thing is still provided by 5 guys in their 20gern on the legs, is more beautiful and can hopefully look into the musical future of Cologne. ALWAYS EN BEWÄJUNG is for me the CD of the year and from start to finish delicious, delicious, or, as they say, perhaps contemporary today: The hottest shit from the speakers of this, our country! Respect, guys and sincere congratulations Bright Lights!
