“Aus dem Patriarchat macht Gurkensalat!” (Turn the patriachy into cucumber salad!) Karl Kave & Durian are fond of polemic slogans, eventhough by closer listening one could notice their appetite for contractions and slippery terrains. After a detour into the world of Eurodance with ‘Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Night’ (Young & Cold Records, 2023), the duo returned to their core business with ‘Wiener Linien’ (Young & Cold Records, 2024), somewhere between darkwave, post-punk and Neue Neue Deutsche Welle. They build on the sound of their first two albums ‘Ungestüme Reiter’ (Choléra Cosmique, 2020) and ‘Untergang und Finsternis’ (Detriti, 2021) and remain true to the principles of a certain ambiguity and openness for contradictions, but are not afraid to admit to doubts and existential fears. They hence achieve a balance between gentleness and bite, between punchline and poetry.
