In the artist's words:

The new sensation in the scene zoo: The Bachratten are releasing "Streichelzoo" on Hamburg's favorite label La Pochette Surprise and the timing couldn't be better. The long awaited first single from the Kassel-based band will not only make little mice's hearts beat faster. "Streichelzoo" will smash love into your soul and remind you of the 90's rock heyday, when Tocotronic were still uninhibited and the Hamburg School were still allowed to have fun on day trips. "Petting zoo. Only with you." The Bachratten manage to capture their live energy and present a sound that is just right. Really great.
