With "Kapitulation", their eighth studio album since their debut in 1993 , Tocotronic (not to be confused with Technotronic) book without any doubt my favorite album germanophone of 2007. It just missed my top 11. I would have listened a few more times that there would probably figuratively. I'm far from knowing all the band's career but this album has a taste of achievement. Texts worked, easily understandable for anyone with a little knowledge of German but also a pleasant music and phrasing that make the dispensable signifaction words, although one of the highlights of the album. "Kapitulation," the first single from the album, list all those little moments in life where we want to send everything to waltz, to surrender, in a tone of gentle empathy reassuring. "Gegen Dich dich Verschwörer" or "Imitationen sounds like the best moments of British Sea Power (although this should be the other age groups saw), melodies and electric guitar work impeccable. Tocotronic also exhibited on songs like "Mein Ruin" or the gorgeous epilogue "Explosion" a much darker side, over which hung the inevitable shadow of Blixa Bargeld and Einstürzende Neubauten. Influences perfectly performed and fifteen years of experience summarized into twelve tracks. A must.
