Turbostaat are currently on a small tour through Germany and are always happy to be guests in my house and since their ninth album will be released in January, here is a small, subtle preview of their latest 7Inch which was available exclusively in a bundle together with a tour ticket, a metal pin, a printed hard ticket of the venue and a tote bag. "Der Weiche Kern" is a cover version of the Gravenhurst song 'The Velvet Cell' and the lyrics talk about the protagonist's desire to understand murderers, which he feels he can only do by becoming one himself. He mentions that he doesn't actually like violence, but after tasting hate, he wants more. The song also highlights how there's a soft and vulnerable side to all people, and that this soft core is where the desire to kill may lurk, waiting for a trigger. - The five have long found inspiration in Gravenhurst's folk hymns: "We can't put our finger on exactly why we covered it. We've always been really enthusiastic about them. The mood and the harmonies, the sadness, the unassuming but determined nature. It felt like a part of us," says the band. After the release of this exclusive fucker follows a small Germany tour, meaning Turbostaat will be back on stage for the first time since a band member suffered a heart attack and subsequent emergency surgery and it wasn't clear whether the band would continue. The 7Inch was only available at the gigs in a limited edition. The flip has with 'Otto Muss Fallen' another rare goodie which was first brought on the Rare Tracks 2022 Compilation.
