Lo & Leduc have released their sixth studio album, *Krise als Chanson*. The album release show on November 8, 2026, will focus entirely on the new songs and on a body of work that is more direct and personal than many of the Bern-based duo’s earlier releases.
Lorenz Häberli and Luc Oggier have been making music together for nearly two decades. Lo & Leduc first gained recognition in the Bernese dialect scene before achieving their national breakthrough with the album “Zucker fürs Volk.” Songs like “All die Büecher,” “Jung verdammt,” and “079” made the duo famous far beyond the traditional dialect scene. “079” spent 21 weeks at the top of the Swiss singles charts and is one of the most successful Swiss songs of recent years.
Despite their success, Lo & Leduc have never settled on a single musical formula. Each album has focused on different themes. This evolution continues with “Krise als Chanson.” The new album expands on their previous sound and addresses topics that touch on social developments as well as personal issues and relationships.
The album release show offers the opportunity to experience the new songs for the first time in a cohesive live setting. According to Lo & Leduc, the album emerged from an examination of a world marked by uncertainty, crises, and increasing complexity. The title is deliberately intended as a counterpoint to the often-used phrase “crisis as an opportunity.”
Musically, the album moves between dialect pop, rap, and modern production elements. The richly detailed arrangements stand out, diverging significantly from earlier releases in places. Songs like “Für Love,” “Altpapier,” “Wie es ist,” and “Loyalty x Many Men” showcase a band that tackles current issues without turning them into political slogans.
On stage, Lo & Leduc are accompanied by their band. This adds extra nuances to the new songs and gives them a different impact than on the album. In addition to the two frontmen, the live lineup includes, among others, horns, keyboard, bass, drums, and backing vocals.
Even though the album release show focuses on the new album, Lo & Leduc’s previous work remains an important part of the concert program. In addition to songs from *Krise als Chanson*, well-known tracks such as “079,” “All die Büecher,” “Jung verdammt,” “Taxi Taxi,” and “Rosé und Benzin” are also likely to feature in the set.
This creates an interesting contrast between new songs and established tracks. While “Krise als Chanson” documents Lo & Leduc’s current artistic direction, older songs demonstrate how consistently the duo has evolved over the years. It is precisely this combination that makes the upcoming album release show a revealing moment in their career.
