August August Releases New Single 'Anfang' from Upcoming Album 'Futur 3'

Hamburg-based indie duo August August has released their new single 'Anfang', a precursor to their forthcoming album 'Futur 3', scheduled for November. The track explores the emotional state before making a decision, delving into themes of leaving one's comfort zone and personal growth. The lyrics, sung by Kathrin Ost, convey the pain and hesitation associated with venturing into the unknown. The duo, consisting of Kathrin Ost and David Hirst, crafts a distinctive guitar sound blending indie rock, grunge, and dreampop. The song carries an almost anti-capitalist narrative, critiquing a world where decisions are made impulsively and success is tied to constant performance. Instead, they advocate for deceleration and acceptance that some choices are frightening, emphasizing the need for time to gather courage to try something new. The single is part of a series of releases leading up to the album. The accompanying photograph was taken by Julia Tiemann.
