about

The Cologne Krautjazz band C.A.R. has been around for ten years now. It's a good reason to go into the studio with old and new friends. The "psychedelic four" (Die Zeit) invited singer Pegelia Gold, synthesizer veteran Max Loderbauer, and percussionist Niklas Wandt for joint sessions at the Candy Bomber Studio in Berlin-Tempelhof, simply to record without a specific plan. The chemistry was right, and the result is an album in which the guests can leave their individual marks within the C.A.R. band sound, which acts as a unifying element and sometimes embraces both ethereal and quirky passages. The album spans from the ambient pop of "A Signal From a Mouth" with Pegelia Gold's whispered vocal passages to the percussive eccentricities in "Major Step In Your Career," reminiscent of Niklas Wandt's solo work, all the way to cosmic explorations with Max Loderbauer, as heard in "Osaka Highway" with its stream of consciousness-like collective improvisational world. The band's first round birthday party seems to have been a success, and they're toasting to the next ten years with filter coffee cups and whiskey tumblers with anyone who wants to join!



49,997 hours of batty babbling on Autobahns, at kitchen and dinner tables, in rehearsal rooms and recording studios, with a käse-käse sandwich or at the Thai klitsche, having a good ol’ fach-filter-plörre, a nice siebträger espresso (80% arabica 20% robusta or single origin?) or a vintage single malt (four or more six-packs of local beer would be greatly appreciated as well) – ten years is a long time! To celebrate this we invited some of our friends and musical heroes to the cozy Candy Bomber Studio at Tempelhof Airport and hit the red record button. Thank you Pegelia, Max, Niklas and Ingo for this lovely and inspired week, here’s to the next ten years!
Kenn, Johannes, Lux & Leo
