On their new EP, *Lieber hüt*, the band Blingtext explores the theme of feeling lost. The five songs tell of journeys of self-discovery on the dating scene past the age of thirty, of coping with the loss of people and life circumstances to which one has become far too accustomed, of ticking clocks, missing compasses, and solutions that are slow in coming. Always with a dash of irony, a sense of urgent impatience, and a longing for answers they’d love to have today—but that probably won’t be there even the day after tomorrow.
Since their last album, Blingtext has also reoriented itself musically. With Nadine Lüthy joining the band, a new voice brings a whole new brilliance to the songs and adds another perspective to the lyrics. Otherwise, the band remains true to its concept and experiments with whatever musical style catches their interest at the moment. Their live shows continue to brim with energy, and despite a sense of disorientation, Blingtext seems more focused than ever. Bring on the future—preferably right now, rather than tomorrow!
