Erstaunt mich doch, dass es zu deren neuestem Album noch keinen Thread gibt. Nach dem schon guten Vorgänger, ist das aktuelle noch ausgereifter und schlägt vor allem soundtechnisch etwas poppigere Wege ein. Komisch ist, dass ich den Sound der alten Platte schon gut fand, den jetzigen aber fast noch besser. Nebenbei beweisen die Burschen mit ihren Songtiteln und -texten einen etwas skurilen Humor. Stellenweise erinnert mich der Gesang an die benso zu würdigenden plastic constellations.
Insgesamt eine recht eigenwillige und einzigartige Mischung aus Post-Hardcore, Dischord und Pop.

LACK - PRESSEMITTEILUNG
==================================================
Die "Play/Rec".-Band LACK bat uns folgendes Statement zu veröffentlichen:

Lack is not an anti-semitic band!

There has been some uncertainty and rumors surrounding the cancellation of our Berlin show on the 29th of March 2008 at the venue Lokal. Here are the facts: The promoters of the show decided to cancel the concert a few hours prior to show start. They made this decision based on a short meeting they had with us regarding the controversy surrounding the song 'Ritornello' of the 2005 album Be There Pulse, a song which they consider to be anti-Semitic. This, combined with a concern for the safety of the show comprised their reasons for canceling. The cancellation relates to an issue that has followed us for some time now and we recognize the need to make a statement.

Lack is a band committed to communication, critical thought and healthy distrust of the exercise of power. Lack is a collective devoted to using creativity and art to contribute something positive to this world and the communities we are part of.

Since the release of said song, we have come to realise, through education and honest self criticism that this song runs contrary to what we wish to achieve with this band. It is a song that both in its content and in its effect has contributed much negativity. We wrote it as a comment to the crisis that has yet not found a peaceful resolve, which makes the issue ever relevant, but we have since then learned that the song can be read in a way that we are not at all comfortable with! We are by no means anti-Semites and we do not wish to promote anti-Semitic messages! We are very saddened by this perception of us.

We must however recognize that some people perceive the song in a way we never intended, which has raised questions about the band's overall intentions. However, rather than blaming others for misreading the song, we recognize that in itself, 'Ritornello' is problematic. Therefore - given the chance - we would not write 'Ritornello' again.

We extend our gratitude to the few people who have been willing to engage in dialogue with us regarding the song. It is those people who have made us realise the negative value of the song; it is those people who have made us reaffirm once more the importance of communication, education and willingness to listen to the perspectives of others.

Sincerely
Lack
