Der Assistent – Der Assistent

The North Rhine-Westphalia scene has brought forth numerous hip German records in recent years, which have thrilled me with their presence. However, they have also left me with the impression that the post-post-post-DAF movement may have reached its end. Somehow even cooler, despite its meta-internet presence, this album by Der Assistent is a real tearjerker. Der Assistent seem to have a pop sensibility, allowing them to almost stumble across the German version of »Why Can’t We Live Together« multiple times on this record.
