Das Lumpenpack returns with their sixth studio album, "emotions," a collection of twelve tracks that blend German pop with their signature playful and genre-defying style. Released on November 26, 2021, under ROOF Records, this album is a testament to the band's growth and maturity, offering a more political, concentrated, and emotionally resonant experience compared to their previous works.
"emotions" is a journey through contemporary life, touching on various themes with wit and depth. The album opens with "WZF?!" and closes with "Ein Schlaflied für Aufgewachte," framing a diverse set of songs that range from the humorous "Dolce Wohnen" to the poignant "Die Liebe in Zeiten von Amazon Prime." Each track is a snapshot of modern existence, delivered with Das Lumpenpack's unique blend of rock and comedy, making the album both entertaining and thought-provoking.
The album's release was staggered, with the first part dropping on February 26, 2021, followed by the second part on July 16, 2021, and the final part on November 26, 2021. This approach allowed fans to savor the music over time, building anticipation for the complete package. With a runtime of just over 42 minutes, "emotions" is a concise yet impactful body of work that showcases Das Lumpenpack's ability to craft memorable, meaningful, and engaging music.
