Pelzig

Medium Cool World

It's been 20 years! Yes, PELZIG have been around since 1995. Why this isn't part of general knowledge might be owing to the fact that PELZIG have often been misunderstood to be a side project of SLUT- which, facing the staff intersections, perhaps couldn't be avoided. Yet, the band has always self-sufficiently chosen its own path. The return of PELZIG after 11 years! Up to now four albums have been released which partly were recorded and mixed at Uphon Studio in Weilheim in Germany. In 2004 their last album ,Safe In Its Place" was released - it probably captured the sound and the energy of the band from Munich and Ingolstadt better than any release before. That was eleven years ago. It feels like an eternity. Eleven years in which the band faced good and bad news, on a personal as well as on a musical level. Meanwhile in the real world, the entire musical landscape was turned upside down. Things changed. Unperturbed, the band around vocalist Christian Schulmeyr continued working on their material, always in the safe knowledge that one day the time would come to release a new album. Even though now they had to start from scratch. Which doesn't matter to PELZIG, just like anything else. The band never intended to be the next big thing. From an endless amount of ideas a core of ten songs emerged which PELZIG will release under the title ,Medium Cool World". The album is a distillate from over a decade of various musical influences, changing living environments, strokes of luck and experiences of failure. Not everything is always cool. But also not quite uncool. Rather somehow in-between. Guitarist Rainer Schaller - who by the way is a producer at the German radio station BR Z- took over production duties. Oli Zknown for his work with NOTWIST, MS JOHN SODA, SLUT, DIE RZTE and SPORTFREUNDE STILLER mixed the album and gave it the final punch. Or maybe not. We will see.
