Kaleb Stewart: Tropical Depression 12"

With Tropical Depression, Kaleb Stewart has succeeded in creating a singer-songwriter album for the hardcore kids of the 90s.?The memories are present and yet, the world has moved on, there is a fire in every corner. Reasons that used to make you start a band and shout your displeasure at the world are many times over today and yet the rebellion in paradise is stagnating. And with it her art. Lethargy sets in and escalates into depression. And that's where "Tropical Depression" comes in. The album is about so much more than the glorification of the early years, it's about reflecting on the current state, about articulations, about the desire for change and at the same time remaining in the golden cage. Kaleb's means of musical description is pop. One aspect of this is that the door of the cage is wide open and no one steps through it. The fact that the texts are intended to animate people to think about it and perhaps dare to take the step is another aspect, and in the historical conclusion this could also be called punk. But maybe that's no longer important, because the world has moved on.
