Some records are strongly linked to the location of their creation. "Posten 90" is a clear example of this. Its title is the street address of the house in the forest near Lueneburg which Andreas Otto chose as his home and studio location right before he started working on this album. Apart from a few sheep, some joggers and a regional train that passes the house three times a day, this place is an outpost of calm. This environment has been highly conducive to the development of even more detailed structures in Springintgut's music than what we already know from his first EP. Brimming with rhythmical and melodic layers, there is enough room for a melancholic cello to remind us of Otto’s musical backgrounds now and again. With all this naturromantik, this could not be Springintgut unless there wasn't a lot of hilarity and party vibes, too, in tracks such as "Abbr.Dec." or "Ohm Rodeo". Since then, Andreas Otto moved to Hansaplatz in central Hamburg, an environment which appears to be the total opposite. Let’s see what kind of music Springintgut will create there, where turkish food stalls, traffic jams and people offering their bodies for sale frame the surroundings.
Listening to "Posten 90" will put everybody back to these days in the woods, both those who knew him then as well as fresh listeners – these sounds evoke reckless and happy times, and they put smiles on our faces.
