Contrary to initial assumptions, Berlin chansonnier Karl Neukauf has nothing to do with the grocery chain of the same name. Nevertheless, his songs take you on a journey through a colorful world, rummaging thematically on various shelves and paying particular attention to the fine print on (food) packaging.
In his shopping cart are a can of Knef, a pound each of Jürgens and Lindenberg, a high-proof Waits, a slice of Mey next to 156 grams of Newman, a tube of Lanegan and a Stiege of Niedecken.
The sonorous bass voice and the sometimes delicate, sometimes striking piano melodies transform the supermarket atmosphere into a warm-hearted corner shop, where one still has time to chat about the little things and/or world-changing things. Karl Neukauf sets these observations to music in a lively and thoughtful way, creating musical postcards that tell their story while lying spread out on a white flokati rug in front of a dark green plush sofa.
