Streichelt

In the artist's words:

Streichelt used to be active as a musician in various band constellations, today he stands alone at the front - and quite convincingly at that. What began as a side project between university and a shared flat has now become his own cosmos of disco drums, synth pads and lyrics that don't shy away from going where it hurts.

On the upcoming EP "Rosenkrieg" (release February 20, 2026), Streichelt tells six songs about everything that can't simply be dealt with in three sentences of small talk: Separation, addiction, psychological rollercoaster ride, new beginnings. "Self-doubt that turns into self-confidence" is how he summarizes the mini-record himself. It is this revelation from the inside out, the step from uncertainty to clarity, that holds "Rosenkrieg" together. Streichelt writes and produces everything himself, mostly at home. No big master plan, no elaborate production. Just a guy who makes songs until they sound exactly the way he has them in his head.
