Wir Sind Hier

Mrz's follow-up to their 2002 dbut Love Streams on Karaoke Kalk. Eleven new songs by Albrecht Kunze and Ekkehard Ehlers. It's all about positioning, i.e. The question of where you / I / we are standing now and here and in this particular moment; and Mrz's songs describe the Here from their own personal perspective. It would seem to be the aspect of someone looking out from a park, if the titles 'Mrz I'm Park' ('Park in March') and 'Oktober I'm Park' ('Park in October') are anything to go by; and yet it remains uncertain as to whether the fenced-off area of a park, with it's circumscribed freedom; simultaneously including and excluding, is a place of relaxed tranquility, (deceptive) security or indeed a place of pacification. Places both conceivable and inconceivable superimpose themselves upon one another, and what remains is a feeling of uncertainty as to whether one should like to stay here or not.
