OKRA - Can TAPE
Dark, gritty, and always with a wink, the post-punk band Okra translates the phenomena of alienation in our present into a new language. German-Turkish (Almancı) vocals tell of out-of-body experiences in post-migrant society, waiting at the Bürger*innenamt, the experience of giving birth, and Instagram. Early feminist punk and NDW bands of the 1970s, such as Malaria! or X-Mal Deutschland, are evoked. On this ride through the ghost train of patriarchy, humor plays just as much of a role as the constant search for new means of musical expression.
