The album title says it all. Alongside reflective, critical lyrics, new musical directions, and a search for their own social integrity, CharMana don't take themselves too seriously and are aware of their relevance. Thus, this album isn't an attempt to provide answers, but rather to ask the right questions. Challenging yet atmospherically serene, "Papierkopfhelden" is a colorful mix of powerful rock numbers that also includes subtle and subtle nuances.
With their signature energy and deep love for songwriting, the quintet presents nine tracks thematically situated somewhere between heart and mind. The rocking opener, "Besser mal im Regen tanzen" (Better to Dance in the Rain), leaves no doubt about the band's roots and finds its ballad-like counterpart in songs like "Wenn der Sturm sich liegt" (When the Storm Subsides). With "Ein Dekret" (A Decree), CharMana then take a political turn, highlighting the extent to which our social cohesion has suffered under the crises of recent years.
