Dann müsste ich nicht mehr schrei’n
Alles wär’ so klar
Grauzone are about to celebrate a milestone in 2021 as their synth-infused cult hit
Eisbär turns 40. As many of us brace for a massive snowstorm during a pandemic, the lyrics, windy synth howls, and frantic sax outro still resonate deep in our psyches. If still waters run deep, frozen ones cut to the bone.
Grauzone formed at the end of 1979, when drummer Marco Repetto and bassist GT left punk outfit Glueams to join forces with Martin Eicher (guitar, vocals, synthesizer). Martin’s brother Stephan (guitar, synth), Max Kleiner, and Claudine Chirac (saxophone) supplemented the group in live appearances and recordings.
