Odd Couple

In the organizer's words:

Rush hour of life: Odd Couple and the eternally beating heart of being human. In times when reality disappears behind filtered images and music is increasingly shaped by algorithms, Odd Couple present a warm and colorful album with their new album "Rush-Hour of Life", which is reminiscent of a time when music was still handmade - raw, playful, flawed and therefore convincing. The result is a medicine against digital surfaces and abbreviated content. Listening to this album is like taking a trip, but not to escape reality, but to feel more of the depth of the moment again.

To the question "Who is speaking here?" one would have to answer: This is the talented, creative Berlin between the ages of 28 and 34, which, as in every new phase of life, finds itself confronted with the question of what damn course it should set for such a fluid life. How does the supposed "rush hour of life" go as a busy musician, sometimes badly slowed down by a pandemic? This album bears witness to the gaps in purpose optimization and proves that there are anarchic thoughts and feelings in life that no Instagram slogan can help with. Odd Couple would rather ask us lots of questions.

The ideas for this album have been floating around for four years, in the heads of the two musicians, through their hard drives and finally across the country, sent back and forth between Berlin and Cologne. A patchwork of fragments from which Tammo and Jascha have put together a great whole like true alchemists. But not in the sense of a slick production, but in the sincerity of a demo album that breathes the intimacy of a home studio. There is no glossy façade, no polished perfection - and that is intentional.
