With “Eine Katze Bitte,” Lenze & de Buam present an album that remains stylistically open without drifting into arbitrariness. Pop, rock, singer-songwriter, rap, and folk intertwine to form a sound that feels familiar yet retains its own edges and character. The arrangements shift between pressure and restraint—at times direct and demanding, at others quiet and fragile—held together by a palpable sense of closeness and consistency in expression.
Sung in Bavarian dialect, the lyrics focus on both everyday life and more fundamental questions: hope and doubt, closeness and distance, lightness and overload. They observe rather than explain, leaving contradictions unresolved instead of smoothing them out. Humor and critique often sit closer together than expected.
The album was produced entirely independently. Analog textures, hands-on craftsmanship, and deliberate decisions against overproduction define its sound. “Eine Katze Bitte” is not a pose but a snapshot—taken straight from the tension between head and gut.
An album that does not need to be loud to resonate, and that develops warmth without having to claim it.
