Dota is back with new songs, a new chapter that fits perfectly into the series of her previous albums, but still new, as if a previously unknown ingredient had appeared in the song laboratory.

What's nice is that it could just as well be the first DOTA record ever. You don't miss anything you like about Dota, but the music is even more minimalist, bouncier - adults would say: more contrasting. The lyrics go even more directly into the heart of darkness, are even more devotedly searching, even clearer in the unclear. Perhaps it is also a product of her preoccupation with the poetry of Mascha Kaléko, to whose musical realization she has dedicated two albums in the last three years.

DOTA - not in capital letters for nothing, because the name reflects more than just Dota Kehr's lyrical self, but also the community around her in which the music has been created for several years: guitarist Jan Rohrbach, drummer Janis Görlich, keyboardist Patrick Reising and bassist Alexander Binder. Together with this band, Dota Kehr arranges and records the songs. Together they write the DOTA formula on the blackboard: every word means at least its opposite, with question marks everywhere and hardly any exclamation marks.
