Marco Pleil, the voice and electric guitar from the Rhine-Main area. Two years after his debut album "Die Spur des Kalenders" and the subsequent single "Liebe Grüße!/Jazz ist keine Option," his second album "Keine Zeit" (No Time) is released again via Timezone Records.

Standing still isn't an option for Pleil either! That's why he goes several steps further with "Keine Zeit." While "Die Spur des Kalender" (The Trail of the Calendar) was a statement of minimalism, Pleil builds (in the truest sense of the word) on loops, beats, and, above all, his long-standing love of concise bass playing for the twelve new songs. The first single, "Depressive Komödianten," combines the most beautiful New Order melancholy with college rock a la REM, "Aus dem Off" could also have come from an early The Cure album, and the second single, "Schön Dich zu sehen" (Good to See You), is an electro/acoustic rocker with compact Hüsker Dü post-punk songwriting. And before anyone asks: No, it's not a Corona album, neither about nor influenced by it! It's the logical step Pleil must take. Live and solo, he continues to break the songs down to their skeletal form. But in the context of the album, there are no longer any limits!

"Keine Zeit" was produced in the Cologne band "Locas in Love's" own "Bear Cave Studio" by Nicolas Epe (Peter Muffin Trio, Screenshots, among others), Luis Müller-Wallraf (Giant Rooks, Die Realität, among others), and Marco Pleil. "Keine Zeit" was mastered by Christian Bethge (Gewalt, Messer, Stella Sommer, Heim, Pleil).

The bonus CD “Mehr Zeit” features six earlier Pleil songs, available for the first time on a silver disc and newly mastered by Christian Bethge: “Liebe Grüße!/Jazz ist keine Option”, released in 2021 on the limited vinyl single, the “Punkt.statt,Komma” EP with three songs was Pleil’s first release as a solo artist in 2013, and the “Gustav Jäger Remix” was available for a short time only as a free download in 2014.
