Taken from new album "For Those We Met On The Way", out on November 19th, 2021! CD/LP/DL available via orcd.co/david-christian
After 29 years with British indie/garage/beat/punk/psych-pop collective Comet Gain, singer/mastermind and main fireraiser David Christian thought, "Why not do a solo album?" After all, some of his favorite records are also solo records by people from bands; John Cale, Gene Clark, Julian Cope, Stephen Duffy, Mike Nesmith, Curtis Mayfield, Neil Young... under the sun of his new home in the South of France, exchanged for Brexit London, a timeless folk-rock album was created with the kind help of numerous friends on numerous instruments. The verve and snottiness of the Comet Gain sound can also be found here, but "For Those We Met On The Way" sounds more dandy, somehow more southern French. If you like listening to "Robespierre's Velvet Basement" by the Jacobites AND the electric songs of Bob Dylan's "Bringing it All Back Home" AND Comet Gain... then "For Those We Met On The Way" is perfect for you!

Und am Ende brachten sie mich gnädig zum Bahnhof […], weil ich völlig willenlos geworden war. Fahren - nicht fahren, fahren - nicht fahren, ich konnte keinen klaren Gedanken fassen. Eine Träne, kein Rekrut. Fahren - nicht gut, bleiben - auch nicht viel besser.“ (Andrzej Stasiuk, 1998 in seiner Autobiografie)
In Unwohls neuer Single Eine Träne, kein Rekrut wird dem ähnlich willenlos gewordenen Spiegelbild ein sarkastischer Ratgeber an den Kopf geworfen, auf dessen letzter Seite allerdings immer dasselbe steht: und es bleibt alles so wie es war. Nebst dem klassischen Synthesizern diesmal auch von tuwinischem Kehlkopfgesang und bulgarischen Frauenchören begleitet, bewegt er sich in seinem neuen Musikvideo wie ein Fremdkörper durch Innenstadtwelten und einen halbaufgebauten Jahrmarkt - da wo nichts wirklich ist, obwohl eigentlich etwas sein sollte.
