“But there’s supposed to be another album…” – people whispered 20 years ago at the bars of the few remaining live music venues in the eastmost part of Germany. Yes, The Remedies had indeed recorded another album in 2003, following “Candles and Beer” from 1998. But “Magnetic Boots” was never released. The alternative rock band from Upper Lusatia had already stopped playing concerts before the recording sessions and broke up shortly thereafter. The album title and some songs lived on in the successor band Magnetic Boots until 2010, but the finished album remained shelved.
However, when the former band members brought “Candles and Beer” into the streaming age with the support of djummi records, the question naturally arose: Why not finally release the second album as well? A truly excellent idea, because the 15 tracks still sound remarkably fresh after more than two decades. Whether indie rock hits (Gravity, Supersonic…), grown-up pop gems (Breathing Time) or even little sillinesses like Steamboat – all far too good to be put away in a drawer!
