Il Civetto

In the organizer's words:

Il Civetto

Live 2024

The Berlin band il Civetto writes songs that transport their listeners into the warm light of a southern French sunset or into the mild gold of a metropolitan late summer evening. With their debut album "Späti del Sol" (May 2022), the 5-piece Berlin band has gained a loyal community with their unique sound over the last few years. Pop sound, in which elements of Latin American music and nuances of French and Portuguese language can be found. Moving lyrics that create images of longing and invite the listener to dream with great finesse. Il Civetto's musical identity is characterized by the great adventurousness and openness of a well-traveled band, for which one searches in vain for reference points in the German pop music landscape. On their great live shows, their songs like "Rio- Reiser-Platz", "Barbazan" and "Andere Welt" have become real anthems.

Love on ice

New album, new single, new tour: "Liebe auf Eis" opens the Il Civetto year. The new single was released on August 11 and is also the title track of the Berlin band's new album, which will be released on March 15, 2024. Il Civetto will then embark on their biggest tour to date in April and May 2024, with pre-sales starting on September 8, 2023.

The title was suddenly just there: it was January 2023 and Il Civetto met to work on new songs. An inspiring session developed, which all members experienced as the most fruitful in their history so far, and in which from the beginning this early song idea of singer Leon Keiditsch hovered over everything like a good omen, which will now also be the first single from the second album of the new Il Civetto era to be released on March 15, 2024: "Liebe auf Eis".

Il Civetto's shimmering pop international has always been about wanderlust, longing and the feeling of being on the road. The music of this band simultaneously imagines the vibe of a balmy summer night and the hangover afterwards. With their last album "Späti del Sol" they had explored this space of possibility to the last corner, with "Liebe auf Eis" the Berlin band goes one step further.

So you can understand the title as a symbolic image for everything this band is about. Euphoria and melancholy are not opposites in Il Civetto, where there is light, there is also shadow. Socially, privately, on all levels - therein lies the special magic of this group of friends. Their music is about enduring contradictions, bridging gaps, overcoming social coldness in polarized times with love - "love on ice".

In the wonderfully analog 16mm video for "Liebe auf Eis," Il Civetto juxtapose their melancholy with summery Berlin impressions. It's about non-commitment and anonymity in the big city, "Beautiful world, rose-colored glasses," Keiditsch sings, "Longing behind facades, when I roam the city / Between Capri sun and highlife." It's an unbearable lightness of being.

In general, Il Civetto have become more personal on the new album, even closer to their themes. "There will be a song about my youth, another for my father, and even the love songs are still influenced by their own experiences," says Keiditsch. They recorded "Liebe auf Eis" again with producer Ralf Christian Mayer (Clueso, Mark Forster, Cro and others), who has always understood the vision of this band best.

"Liebe auf Eis" can be pre-ordered from September 8, the same day also starts the presale for the biggest Il Civetto tour so far in April and May 2024. And until then, we dance now with the first single "Liebe auf Eis" released on August 11 through the rest of the summer!
