neànder will release their new and third album on November 8 via Through Love Records. With “III” the Berlin band finally breaks the formal boundaries of instrumental alternative music. The album is a cathartic power trip that miraculously sorts out the chaos in your head. Jack Kerouac's novel “On The Road” has influenced generations and has never lost its relevance. By telling of the travel experiences of his road-tripping protagonists Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, of drugs, sex and jazz, the Beat author was in fact telling of the longing for freedom and the meaning of a life outside of social conventions. »They have worries, they're counting the miles (…) and all the time they'll get there anyway, you see.« We all know the famous quote from Kerouac's novel of the century - which now also opens the video for “Ultra”, the first single from the new album “III”. “Our songs are like vehicles that take us to new places,” says Michael Zolkiewicz. “By playing them we connect with new people, sometimes complete strangers.” In fact, on their third album, the Berlin band plays music that, much like “On The Road”, draws its imaginative power from constant movement, a finely balanced dynamic, a perfect beat that constantly pushes forward, pulls back, breathlessly bursts over you - and then allows moments of contemplation again. A musical power trip, but also a gentle ride.
