“Please move, please don't stand here!” – this sentence could be the motto of Urlaub in Polen's new album. Even after more than 20 years, the duo remains true to its principle: music as a journey, as a temporary experience in the stream of impressions. Following their acclaimed comeback All (2020), Objects, Beings and Parrots picks up where the krautrock-inspired Motorik sound left off, but expands it with eclectic excursions into noise rock, retrofuturism, acoustic pop, and experimental sound art. Multi-instrumentalist Georg Brenner and drummer Jan Philipp Janzen (Von Spar, Cologne, among others) have created an album that defies clear genre classification and, precisely because of this, creates a pleasant feeling of being carried away. Recorded at MARS Studio in the Eifel region, the work is a trippy celebration of moving forward—between movement and pause, between washing machine and French horn.
