With their third album, "Heckenpennerutopie," the Habenichtse, the cheerful hedge bums from next door, create a brave new world full of begging, freedom, and drunkenness with a wink and a serious undertone here and there. 10 songs, exclusively selected, stripped down, ironed, and polished, give "Heckenpennerutopie" a face and a voice.
The whole thing is presented in acoustic beggar folk style, with guitar, bass, accordion, and multi-part vocals, expanded for the first time to include drums and saxophone. Danceable, drinkable, absurd, thoughtful, sad-funny, just as hedge-sleeping have-nots imagine the perfect world to be.
The Heckenpennerutopie is for anyone who enjoys handcrafted German-language folk with a strong comedic focus. For anyone into medieval or fantasy themes and who likes to party, and for anyone who enjoys music that might be a little crazy at times, but is heartfelt.
A brave new world for your home!
