Keele's second album ,Kalte Wände" will be out on August 23rd. The eleven songs could be seen as an annual review, fed by bad experiences they or their circle of friends made. When looking on 2018 Keele are talking of ,therapy sessions for the slaps in the face, which were given out by the year". The topics are not too different from the ones on the debut in 2017: paralysing fear of loss, destructive gambling addiction or job related idendity crisis. Keele still sound hanseatic without just copying the ,Hamburger Schule" style, musically affected in the early 21st century years by the big wave of US hardcore, punk and emo bands like Thrice, Alexisonfire, Ignite or Thursday, but most recently they also developed a soft spot for German singing hardcore/punk bands à la Escapado and Muff Potter and indies like Tomte and Herrenmagazin. The sound on the debut album ,Gut und dir" was driven by restlessness, on ,Kalte Wände" we find moments of back-pedalling, maybe the ,the discovery of slowness" First single ,Nullpunkt" came out on June 27th. A song about resolutions, which are doomed to failure, their own inadequateness, self-deception included.
