Für geraunte Songs, in denen der synthetische Beat das verwunderte Holy Moses über den lauf der Welt so wenig wegklappern kann wie die Punches bei Shadow Room gegen den Schatten ankommen. Unter Druck, umnebelt, desorientiert, finden Nort als ältlicher Lost Boy oder die Frauenstimme bei Dont Look Now dennoch in Melancholie, Lakonie und Ironie treffende Worte für die gemischten Gefühle, die ja liebende und hoffnungsvolle einschließen. (Bad Alchemy, September 2025)
