Knöppel

After a rough ten years, Knöppel are now a fixture at the lower end of the Swiss music scene. With "Sex Jazz Scheisse", their third record was released in 2023, the art of which consists of pretending to be a (somewhat primitive) one-trick pony. And because this time, too, the endeavor is beautiful, unserious, coarse and varied, we're happy to pretend we believe them.

Beaten in with a rolling pin over a weekend, the album sounds (once again) like a debut album - for better or worse, but above all for the better. The trio have developed further, their songwriting a little more ambitious, their craft even rougher, their lyrics as always absolutely unnecessary but funny and occasionally even quite clever. The result is twelve frontal lessons that sandblast the ear canals with the usual high density of hits.
