With "Im Wald ist Licht," Angela Aux and Roger Rekless release a joint single on Clouds Hill Records that blends organic songwriter aesthetics with hip-hop influences. The track moves between 70s-inspired psychedelia, lo-fi beats and nods to the Hamburger Schule, carried by guitars, bass and a warm, stripped-back production. At its centre: a UFO sighting bound up with the wish to leave this planet behind. The "disc of metal" becomes a symbol for a foreign, higher intelligence that might bring order to the chaos on Earth. Angela Aux puts this hope into words as a quiet offer to the unknown, while Roger Rekless (live rapper for Deichkind) brings in the personal layer - the feeling of no longer fitting into this world himself. Produced by Bustla (producer for Moop Mama), with recordings by Max Wörle and mastering by Sam Irl, it all condenses into an unusual indie hit somewhere between gentle euphoria and a melancholic farewell to what is supposedly the most intelligent species in the universe.
