'Adhesion' is the final installment in a three album series reflecting on the many calamitous water crises affecting life on this planet.
Fifty percent of the sales for the three album series will be donated to communities that are at the front line of these crises, in perpetuity. For this record, the primary instrument used throughout was a Cristal Baschet that was custom built for Fritch back in 2022. It is an instrument unique in its transmission of vibrations through multiple materials and its sound is one that is both beautiful and haunting. It served as the perfect analog for the idea behind the characteristics of adhesion (water molecules binding and attracting to the molecules of different substances).

Ein spektakuläres Jubiläum in der Popkultur wirft seine Schatten voraus. Im Mai jährt sich die (Vinyl-)Veröffentlichung von „4630 Bochum“ von Herbert Grönemeyer zum 40sten Mal. Grund genug für eine künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit einem der erfolgreichsten deutschen Alben aller Zeiten, dass sich mehr als 3 Millionen Mal verkauft hat und bis heute weiterhin Goldene Schallplatten abräumt.Den Anfang macht Rapperin und Sängerin Céline, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, den Song "Flugzeuge Im Bauch" neu zu interpretieren. Der Blick einer 23-jährigen auf die ikonische Single von 1984 führt zu einem einfühlsamen R'n'B-Konzentrat. Eine selbstbewusste Neubearbeitung. Konsequent und zeitgemäß umgesetzt als 2024er-Track, im Zusammenspiel mit Herbert Grönemeyer.

The American Analog Set is an Austin-based indie rock, lo-fi band. They have released seven studio albums, on the record labels Emperor Jones, Tiger Style Records, and Arts & Crafts. Formed in 1995, the group's early sound was highly influenced by krautrock and post-rock and British shoegaze bands like Cocteau Twins, often featuring long instrumental passages. Over time, their songs became shorter and more pop-influenced. The band has released seven full-length albums, four EPs, and several singles.
