Unmistakable: Karl Neukauf's deep, warm voice is memorable. On his fifth album, Karleidoskop, the multi-instrumentalist combines music, words, and sound – recorded, mixed, and produced by himself. Also on board are Franziska Günther and Danny Dziuk. Born near Kassel in 1982, the Berlin resident writes "New Berlin Chansons" – not for hipster Berlin, but for smokers and poets.

Between street music and the theater stage, an unusual career condenses into a musical self-portrait full of contradictions and clarity. "In Boots" combines street and showbiz experiences, reflections on identity, grief, and the joy of life – a musical psychoanalysis of wearing boots.
