Jeden z najważniejszych obok To Rococo Rot, Tarwater i Mouse on Mars pionierów post-rocka i nowej elektroniki w Niemczech powraca z nowym materiałem.
Kreidler to zespół, który istnieje już 17 lat (na początku na basie grał tam także Stefan Schneider z To Rococo Rot i Mapstation) i po tak długim czasie muzycy rozumieją się intuicyjnie, dlatego mogli sobie pozwolić na niezwykły eksepryment: nagranie płyty w pięć dni i zmiksowanie w trzy...
Minimalizm, elektronika i transowość to nadal 3 podstawowe cechy muzyki Kreidlera.

A simple plan: five days recording, three days mixing. One would hope that after over fifteen years of playing together, the band might has acquired a certain degree of dexterity. They call it concerted action, or stringency. In the knowledge that one can rely on the other.
Even for the last album “Mosaik 2014” the band shut themself into their own Shed in The Park studio in Cologne for five days without any warmup and began recording. In the end they wound up discarding the first pieces, but from day two onward there was enough on tape. The digital mixing then dragged on for twelve months, however.
This time was meant to be different. The band was geographically divided equally between Berlin (Alex Paulick, Andreas Reihse) and Düsseldorf (Thomas Klein, Detlef Weinrich). For a preparatory session, they met for three days in June in the ballroom of Festsaal Kreuzberg, in the capital, Berlin. The actual recordings took place in September 2010 at Tobias Levin’s Electric Avenue Studio in Hamburg. The attitude, however, remains thoroughly Rhenish.
