The new album is out!
Der Plan spielt Der Plan - Take It Easy!
Welcome to a sonic journey where the boundaries between the familiar and the unknown dissolve. In „Take It Easy“ Der Plan, the iconic avant-garde group from Düsseldorf, brings you an easy listening experience that is anything but predictable. Known for their pioneering role in the Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave), Der Plan have always balanced playfulness with deep artistic exploration, and this album is no exception.
From the first note, you’ll feel transported into a soundscape where lush synthesizers, ambient textures, and serene rhythms intertwine with quirky melodies and subtle experimental undertones. The album seamlessly blends nostalgia with futurism, like a trip into a past that never existed, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere, while leaving room for unexpected moments that spark curiosity. This is music that embraces you like a gentle breeze and invites you to listen deeper, revealing layers of whimsy, introspection, and clever craftsmanship at the same time.
As you listen to each track, you may catch a glimpse of the band‘s rich history in the German underground scene - a nod to their experimental roots - but here, those rougher edges are smoothed into a pleasant very listenable collection of tunes, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The hypnotic rhythms and warm harmonies are the perfect backdrop for contemplation, relaxation and daydreaming.
Whether you‘re a longtime fan or a new listener, „Take It Easy“ offers a fresh perspective on the timeless art of song writing, refracted through Der Plan’s uniquely creative lens. Sit back, let the needle sink in and let the three lads from Düsseldorf guide you through a daydream of sound, where the everyday dissolves into something wonderfully surreal.
