about

James Bond is dead… So what now?
The mini album “The Opposite of Cool” serves as a thematic successor to “This Is Softcore”, released earlier this year.
Songs about decay – and how to deal with it. Including Herr Wade’s very own application for the next Bond score (“Haus mit Aussicht”).

But what to do? Herr Wade offers answers.
React with adolescent nonchalance (“Haus mit Aussicht”), with escapist ideas (“Junge Onion”, “Sirenen”, “Gnadenhof”), or with various shades of hope (“Santa Franziska”, “Am Tag, an dem er die Musik vergaß”).
All of this is possible.

And if, in the end, the hot coffee still splashes in your face (“Gift”) – well, hey! At least it’s coffee, the best drink in the world.
