Longing for touch, ecstasy, closeness, noise. Musically, Levin Goes Lightly's album Rot, released more than two years after its predecessor Naked, is both more epic and more intricate. Levin finally wanted to get away from the one-man-band image, and especially during the isolation of the Corona period - without gigs and rehearsals together - dreamed of louder driving live music with epic, big moments, loud guitars, real drums, deeper bass.

Collectively as a band, the songs were continuously worked on with Thomas Zehnle and Paul Schwarz, as much as it was possible under the pandemic restrictions. This desire for more harshness led Levin Stadler, who continues to write all the lyrics, to a more intimate, explicit and direct style. For the first time, both German and English languages are represented on the album.

After several albums exclusively in English, Levin Goes Lightly sought the unusual with the last album Naked with just German lyrics for the first time, which remained much more vague. The search for new ways and detours, the play with the known and the new is also continued on the text level.
