There is probably no other band that weaves the German and English languages into each other as light-footedly and naturally as the intellectual Vienna-Berlin connection around Andreas Spechtl. For the new album, the formation, which has shrunk to a trio, now goes to 17th century Madagascar. There, for 25 years, there was an anarchic pirate colony called Libertatia, where slavery was abolished, religious freedom and women's rights prevailed. Is this the artist's well-known variant of camouflaging his social criticism with digressions into history? Did Libertatia even exist or is it just a defoesche invention? Why does it have such an 80s sound today? The band is called Ja, Panik, their label Nein, Gelassenheit. Is the truth once again in between?
No matter, because: "Where we are, is always Libertatia!"
