Mola's music is the unadorned antithesis to a rosy world. She celebrates herself to death, pulls you into her inner chaos and does without the usual romanticizing transfiguration of the merciless disorientation that catches up with you on the way home after the last cigarette. Mola knows better than anyone that she is a border commuter -- and she has never made a secret of it. Unconventional pop music that bundles the nonchalance of great soul anthems, the grace of the Italo-disco of the eighties and the ingenuousness of lascivious hip-hop bangers instead of trying to sound modern by force. Mola celebrates defeat, exposes life lies, criticizes adulthood, documents radical mood swings. She balances along the abyss in her ball gown, jokes about things you don't joke about, praises and curses intoxication and love. You can now see Mola supporting Fatoni, Roy Bianco & the Abbrunzati Boys, Mayberg, and Kaffkiez in a flurry of strobe lights after sold-out "nothing breaks me" shows in Munich, Cologne, Berlin, and Hamburg. In the end, it doesn't matter, because when you are overcome by this spontaneous feeling that is far removed from any rationality, you don't ask any questions. It tastes like the melancholy of a summer in its last breaths, like the last drink of an uncompromisingly insane night. There is sweating, pogoing and feeling together. Even where it hurts. You are not just an onlooker or a silent spectator, but part of this empowering feeling of "we." Featuring BabyJoy and Ami Warning.

Whether crypto-man or crypto-substance, it will be a disastrous affair in any case. Mola's music is the unadorned antithesis to a rosy world. She celebrates herself to death, pulls you into her inner chaos and does without the usual romanticizing transfiguration of the merciless disorientation that catches up with you on the way home after the last cigarette. The album tells a dark yet fragile story of uncompromising autopilot nights that unite and divide us. Temporarily reduced to intimacy, then escalating into iconic '80s Purple Rain pathos, Mola illustrates the emotional chaos that the inner dialogue of left and right brain triggers in her. With Mola, all experiences are suspiciously turned inside out to see what is hidden behind the everyday facade. She turns her inner self inside out and addresses what hurts her -- undistorted, not exaggerated, approachable. Mola describes her own low blows with defiant self-confidence, without a sentimental glaze. Scheee Im Sommer (Snow in Summer) could be an album by an '80s punk rock band with heartbreak, but also by an alternative band from the '90s shortly before their holiday in a Betty Ford clinic. Features Haiyti, Fatoni, and Roy Bianco & die Abbrunzati Boys.
