Jakob Dobers mag Jonathan Richman und David Berman. Trotzdem singt er diesmal auf deutsch. Sachen die einem einfallen, wenn man durch die Gegend läuft. Oder in Zeitschriften blättert. Oder unkonzentriert rumguckt. Er versucht meistens nicht seine Gefühle auszudrücken.Aber in Sprache kann natürlich trotzdem alles vorkommen. Die Musik ist mit Gitarre und die Referenzen klingen einfach mit. Und plötzlich ist es trotzdem Pop. Wie das geht ist ein offenes Geheimnis.
