In the organizer's words:
Our second act for the c/o pop festival evening in our store is under the motto: No half measures with Future Franz (the Franz of our future!)
"Magic" is his latest proof of this. From songwriting, production, mixing and artwork to the music videos: Everything comes from the hand of the Kornwestheim visionary himself. Here, opposites collide and merge into something completely new. Broken pianos compete with dry drums, 80s flute keyboards meet idiosyncratic guitars, while autotune vocals and choirs create a bizarre harmony. Future Franz creates his own shrill universe on the new album "Magic".
You can't explain Future Franz - you have to feel him. Or not, but then you miss out on great art. Behind it all is art academy graduate and producer for Maeckes and Die Orsons Daniel Strohäcker, who captures the tragedy of life with absurd humor. His mission - to pour the strangeness of the world into oddball songs. Among other things, "Magic" tells of the balancing act between dream and reality. At first, everything seems possible - then real life kicks in. "It's not all that bad, but you'd like to have Magic back," muses Future Franz.
With ten songs, "Magic" takes you into a bizarre world between tongue-in-cheek satire and melancholy depth. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes ironic, sometimes profound - but always unmistakably Franz. Inspired by Frank Zappa and Die Kassierer, somewhere between the Beatles with Heinz Strunk as lead singer and as "Germany's Mac DeMarco", he remains true to himself and yet reinvents himself. The advance single "Ich will tanzen" is a prime example: a relaxed, classically orchestrated slow dance track with a solo entertainer vibe - a bittersweet reflection on life, death and the irrepressible desire to simply dance.
Look forward to Franz live!
