This band has to make this music, which is where the urgency that Leftovers songs are traditionally based on comes from. Nevertheless, something has audibly happened in the production of "Es kann sein, dass alles endet": this music is still like a catharsis, chronically over the top, sometimes noisy to the point of pain. The lyrics oscillate between utility poetry, DADA and punk and are therefore just as direct as the music. So far, so Leftovers.
"When the world ends, I'm with you", all Leftovers sing together in the outro of their most powerful, epochal song to date. It's called "Wenn die Welt untergeht" ("When the world ends"), is an all-consuming maelstrom of an epic that overruns and pulls you along in equal parts and, at the very end of this wonderful album, bundles the Leftovers' various feelings, fears and longings into a wonderfully harmonious cacophony and a quiet glimmer of hope for almost seven minutes. And no, that's not a contradiction in terms with this band.
But you can also hear that the band has worked more thoroughly on these rich, profound pieces than ever before. "The demands on our own music have grown," Leon confirms. It is fitting that, for the first time so far, Leftovers have embarked on a truly collaborative collaboration with two producers.
