Head off, heart on: an invitation to the soul, which follows the ears light-footedly into the adventure. With atmospheric beats and touching melodies, the band No King. No Crown. around René Ahlig from Dresden tells of traveling thoughts, salty loneliness and what remains after storms. From an acoustic project a band has emerged, which with its new album "Smoke Signals" sensitively interprets the search for familiar bridges. Eleven new songs whose smoke signals carry audible and clear stories: of journeys, hope, sadness and closeness. Of how it feels not to know whether you are desperate or happy - or both together. The unmistakable roots in acoustic music, combined with new electronic influences, explode the boundaries of language and ignite a melodic conflagration. No King. No Crown. draws silent pictures through the interplay of various instruments and sensitive lyrics. For heart and head.
