DEINE LAKAIEN – New album !!!


NEW ALBUM “INDICATOR” CONFIRMED FOR EUROPEAN RELEASE!

Chrom / Ministry Of Sound today confirms October 18th., 2010 as the release date for Deine Lakaiens’s
new studio album “Indicator” for Europe outside G/S/A.

 

It’s exactly five years since Veljanov and Horn released their last studio album “April Skies” but they
haven’t just been twiddling their thumbs in the meantime. They celebrated their twentieth anniversary with
an opulent orchestra tour and continue to pursue their long-standing tradition of acoustic tours:
opportunities enough for a little soul-searching. “Of course we hope to have become wiser, more
experienced, more aware – and to have improved, too”, explains Veljanov. “What was crucial for us when
we started this work, was the sense that this Deine Lakaien project still has things to accomplish”.
“Indicator” doesn’t simply rehash tried and tested formulas. It heralds a whole new era. Anyone who’s

electronic instruments but the stylistic diversity and natural playfulness they derive from that is amazing.
The long pause to gather its wits and completely revise priorities evidently did the duo good. “After twenty
years, you don’t want to rhyme ‘day’ with ‘way’ and ‘night’ with ‘light’. You have to try out new themes and
creative paths,” Ernst Horn points out. “And that automatically gives rise to new musical solutions. For
sure, we’re no longer facing a storm of clichés either. The image that made us the enemy in some
In terms both of content and music, “Indicator” is a multifaceted, intense album that embraces the world’s
diversity, dreams and hopes yet also relentlessly faces up to reality. The title “Indicator” must be
understood also in that light. Deine Lakaien consciously chose a no-nonsense motto, not only for the
listeners’ sake but also for their own, and as a signpost on their new path. Because they’re older, wiser,
but still these old fighters…
