HGich.T Live + Acid Aftershow - 30 JAHRE TOUR
The insane plan to let the AI do all the work this time has failed. In the end, HGich.T had to step in again. Luckily! "Lenovobeach," the eighth studio album of the Hamburg music collective, sounds like the tender embrace of a stoned mother. "Yes, boss. Thanks for everything," is said on "Lenovobeach," and with that, almost everything is said. The idea of letting ChatGPT do all the writing and sound work for a change this season and gradually replacing the entire band with avatars was well-intentioned (keyword: work-life balance), but in the end, DJ Hundefriedhof, Tutenchamun, Dr. Geilser, Nora Hardstyle, Katze Cozy, DJ Balmi, the beautiful Maike, Fosserill, 12Fingermann, Professor Sus- pect, Opa16, and the rest of the cuddly crew preferred to ensure that even 14 years after the release of the mega-hit "Hauptschuhle," the hammer hits like twenty Buzkashi whips. Mission: completed. "What the AI spit out sounded slick, calculating, and aesthetically detached; we could have just asked Maik Forster or whatever his name is," Dr. Geilser summarizes tiredly. "We haven't been forming a small exotic island away from filters, self-optimization madness, and 21st-century perfectionism for decades for nothing." And that should stay the same: "Lenovobeach" was produced with a lot of love in seven magical nights in a Portuguese beach cave and beckons with life-affirming rave anthems ("Geistig am Start"), ecstatic stomp announcements ("UDO"), disturbing cuddle hits ("Merci Cherie"), socially critical bangers ("Saufe"), and the new summer hit "Lenovobeach," which is already playing up and down in the "Pascha." Robust and timeless like an old Lenovo comes the keyboard ballad "Die schwarze Gitarre" in a jaunty Count von Count style. The lyrics come from an old diary of Dr. Geilser. The highlight of the new album is an ode to an important everyday object: the "adapter," which has not only made radio stations salivate but also inspired "Die Gebrüder Brett" to create a fat remix. Listening tip: "Geistig am Start" hypnotizes with sweet operatic singing (Nora Hardstyle), Portuguese chants, and disturbingly melodic Pied-Piper-of-Hameln vibes, served on a hammer-hard Hundefriedhof board that is unparalleled. Message: "We are the underdogs, we are the Mayday, we dance in the matrix, mentally on start. At the keyboard and mic (including "Adapter") shines a lost son: Fosserill is back! For years, the quirky second string of the great Vhagvam Swami had been lost in Bearland, occasionally working as his prompter. Now "Fossi-Bär" can step out of the shadow of the great master, who is currently enjoying his maternity leave. "The people at HGich.T always had smelly feet. But now it's better. So I'm back. And it's totally rocking," says Fosserill via ICQ. Tutenchamun is also growing with his tasks: "After twenty years, I can finally recite Hauptschuhle from memory," rejoices the lovable, scatterbrained frontman. Chapeau! Summary of the press – so far: "Goa, neon, and a hefty dose of trash (...) HGich.T – the loose bunch of performance artists, musicians, and freaks – celebrates life, love, and perhaps art (...) and tinkers in trashy attire on the thumping keyboard of bad taste," recently exclaimed the Saarbrücker Zeitung.
