Kaktus Einarsson

In the organizer's words:

Icelandic musician Kaktus Einarsson returns with the emotional album "Lobster Coda" - and to Berlin

Even if the Icelandic musician's first name may sound a little prickly, Kaktus Einarsson's compositions are characterized by a high degree of catchiness and depth at the same time. Somewhere between his soft, melting neo-soul-influenced timbre and pop music that is schooled in the likes of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Kaktus Einarsson nonchalantly casts a spell over many people with his second album "Lobster Coda", which will be released on 25 October, before you pay attention to the lyrics for the first time and discover that they are characterized by a rather dark time. A neurological disorder threw Kaktus Einarsson off track a few years ago at a time when he had just moved into a newly purchased house with his young family and realized that much of the financial pressure that this entailed was now weighing on his shoulders and his music career. It finally knocked him out at one of his father's shows. "My eyes started to feel funny, my vision was blurred and I had a panic attack. In the end, I lost all strength in my father's arms. It was very painful, I had no control over my body. In the emergency room, I learned that it was functional paralysis. It's a disorder between the brain and the nervous system."

"Lobster Coda" now deals with the healing process, which is not yet complete, but has enabled him to complete the album and play shows again next year. The release date is October 25th, but anyone listening to the pre-release songs "Be This Way", "White Burn" and "Gumbri" will quickly realize that Kaktus Einarsson has used his music to play and write himself back to health. Gentle, epic, vibrantly grooving, they give a taste of what his return to the stage on February 13 at Berlin's Monarch has to offer.
