One Sided Tracklist 12”: A1 – Can I Be With You? (Rico Puestel Summer Nostalgia Dub) A2 – CIBWY? Info: ...and this is how an endless summer night's dream sound! Puestel meets his alter ego Friebe again! Can you imagine that this whole song came to Rico Friebe in a dream?! In that dream, he was sitting in a strange living room, playing a live set with very odd, weird and partially never-seen-before equipment while everyone was annoyingly talking to him (while performing) – one person right next to him even told him that he frequently manages to eat glass by accident. WTF?! According to all this obscurity, he tried to escape into his performance, just looking straight into a weird countertop electronic device that created sound and suddenly he played this completely unknown song with these special vocals kicking in and he immediately fell in love with and got lost in it, forgetting all about the strange situation he was in – the distracting voices around him fell into a mute state. Shortly afterwards, he woke up and kept trying to remember all the details, the lyrics, the melody, the production, just anything, wandering around like a maniac. Finally, all of it went pretty well and you're now listening to a dream composition. Magic everywhere!

After his preceding albums of intimacy WORD VALUE and FACES MEET, based on personal tragedies and the accompanying struggles, RICO FRIEBE has something to tell to a whole generation and delivers ten radiant and distinct top-notch productions that find a most modern and futuristic sound within different styles of pop music while his soft and emotive voice is hovering above all. Originally, ANTHEMS FOR A LOST GENERATION has been recorded as an acoustic double-album, but RICO FRIEBE threw it all out, wrote new songs and found a truly more fitting sound after he realised that there could only be one musical outcome to tell these stories: Songs like BAD SEED, I LIKE MEMES, REDO, GAMES or LAZY, BORED AND SAD are milestones of capturing a complete zeitgeist and beyond. Each line within the lyrics is taken from close and personal experiences and interactions that made him undergo a whole spectrum of emotions, creating deep worries and sadness, but also a far hope. Feel lost? Be found! With ANTHEMS OF A LOST GENERATION...

12” LP / CD / Tape – Bundle / incl. DL-Code Genre: Pop / Singer / Songwriter Tracklist: A1 – Look At Me A2 – The First Time A3 – Nowhere To Run A4 – Do More A5 – Humble A6 – Scrapbook (+ Acappella TAPE-ONLY!) B1 – The Best Talk B2 – Let Go B3 – Time B4 – Fifty-One Info: Rico Friebe is back with the album "Faces Meet" after his recent debut "Word Value" and delivers his personal "deer in the headlight"-moment. What once appeared sparely uncertain and questioning, equalling the fragile try to overcome a state of darkness and forsakenness, now forms into a frenzy of confrontational flashes on "Faces Meet". Like reflecting on the uncertainties presented on "Word Value", "Faces Meet" reveals some genuinely harrowing findings, creating a wholesome musical moment in time that might never happen like this again. Besides the uncompromising statements as to find in the opener "Look At Me", refined perceptions in "Nowhere To Run" or "Fifty-One", open-hearted calls in "Do More" and "Let Go", Rico's pivotal confrontation with the irrevocable truth and emotional dissection peaks in his heartbreaking story on "The Best Talk" which marks the crucial lynchpin of the whole album. Like faces (and therefore people) are constantly meeting everywhere, being faced with the decision how honest and open to meet at all, "Faces Meet" happens to be an even more involved metaphor about surrendering to your true inner self in a mirror-like situation. Deeply rooted in the seeds of his debut album "Word Value", Rico follows a highly natural and severely plain musical language while implementing new and further ideas and elements throughout his sonic landscape. "Faces Meet" is an album of insight and self-awareness and the inevitably necessary foundation for his third double LP and magnum opus "Anthems For A Lost Generation" (set to be released in Spring 2024), accelerating a lately unstoppable story into unforeseeable pathways.

Genre: Techno, Tech-House Tracklist 12": A1 – 212 (Rico Puestel's Uber Dub) (10:02) B1 – Friend (Rico Puestel's Aachen Dub) (10:02) Info: Rico Puestel steps up his Dub game and delicately reinterprets two songs from his forthcoming 2024 singer-songwriter double-album „Anthems For A Lost Generation“ as Rico Friebe, delivering 10 deep and immersive minutes of electronic music on each side. While the original songs have never been designed for the dancefloor, both perfectly blend into the dry and groovy environment of Puestel's remakes and won't loose anything from their original message: Struggle, hope, friendship – things we desperately need in this world...

Label Name: Time In The Special Practice Of Relativity Genre: Pop / Folk / Singer / Songwriter Tracklist 7": A1 – One To Four B1 – The Moon Just Died (Demo Version) B2 – Quarter, Last... Info: "Songbook / Chapter One" includes three highly intimate guitar compositions by Rico Friebe, being the big connector between his early 2023 debut album "Word Value" and the follow-up "Faces Meet", set to be released in October 2023. Rico feels the songs "One To Four" and "Quarter, Last..." (actually being one song in two parts) to be the most truthful and honest songs he has ever written to this day, coming back to his well-known reduced approach on writing music after and inbetween more pop-like songs "Don't Hurt Me Now" or "So... Hi!".

Hi!" - a heartfelt dedication to the good moments in life, somehow deeply inspired by 80's and 90's pop music. Alongside, he presents his meditational songs "Me&You" and the Zen-like instrumental "Tiger Tundra" from a same-titled album that has never been released (yet)...

CD Label Name: Time In The Special Practice Of Relativity Genre: Pop / Indie Dance / Electro Tracklist CD: 01 – Don't Hurt Me Now (Radio Edit) 02 – Don't Hurt Me Now (Piano Version) 03 – Don't Hurt Me Now (Alternative Version) 04 – Don't Hurt Me Now (Instrumental Edit) 05 – ? (Bonus B-Side) 06 – LOVE (Bonus B-Side) 07 – Look At You (“Faces Meet” Outtake) Info: Exactly 100 written songs after he came up with his initial "This Day" (from his recent debut album "Word Value") Rico Friebe, being in a phase of absolutely not feeling able to write anything new and meaningful anymore, brings "Don't Hurt Me Now" into this world - a somehow melancholic and moving yet catchy hit to dance into eternity. "Don't Hurt Me Now" leads back to all of his defining past moments and one specific day in December 2021, perfectly pre-summing up all perspectives and emotions yet to be presented in heartbreaking detail on his next album "Faces Meet" in autumn 2023 and two further LPs in 2024, concluding a vast artistic and personal arch. After improvising on the piano for hours, he suddenly found something he never searched for, writing the complete lyrics down in 90 seconds and recording instrument after instrument for several hours. The final version of the song is based on mistakenly muting the completely wrong tracks while presenting three different versions of "Don't Hurt Me Now" on the final release, showcasing his different approaches and perspectives of sound. In addition to this single, Rico Friebe pulls out all the stops with some bonus B-side material and presents the cinematically heartbreaking journey "?" as well as the hope-flooded "LOVE". "It might never go any deeper than '?' - an emotional torture to record and to listen to somehow" is the one thing Rico has to say about this...
