Album Notes & Community Reviews

As key figures in the Neue Deutsche Welle movement, Der Plan utilize 'Normalette Surprise' to fuse sterile synthesized beats with avant-garde theatricality. The resulting sound is a surreal, often humorous deconstruction of pop music, heavily reliant on early drum machines and deliberately eccentric vocal deliveries.
