Fred und Luna have always had a preference for symmetry. Reflected in their cover motifs and, on the current album, in the length of the musical pieces, which are all around the five-minute zone. "Im Fünfminutentakt", accordingly the name of their latest creation, is "Fred und Luna's" fourth longplayer, an exquisite selection of contemporary instrumental and vocal pieces with a sensitive feel for repetitive rhythms, enchanting melodies and mesmerizing sounds. Particularly noteworthy are "Es ist so schön" ("It's wunderschön"/"C'est wunderbar"), a piece sung in three languages (with its sensitive feeling for the joy of seeing your loved ones again after months of loneliness caused by the pandemic) and the dancefloor-oriented "Tanz mit mir" ("Dance With Me"), that gives an idea of how much even computer-like voices can awaken desires and dreams.

Who are Fred und Luna?
"Fred und Luna" are two mannequins living in a fashion boutique in Karlsruhe, Germany. They serve as muse for musician, poet and photo/video maker Rainer Buchmüller. Inspired by his doll friends and his love for German electronic music of the past decades, Rainer Buchmüller under the name "Fred und Luna" produces his self-created genres Elektrokraut and Krautelektro: both a modern adventurous journey with a combination of motorik beats, electronic soundscapes and elements of the Krautrock era.

On tour with Fred und Luna (The Luna principle)
On live shows, Fred und Luna are represented by Rainer Buchmüller as FRED and a LUNA spontaneously chosen from local musicians, friends or someone from the audience, making every show a surprise and a unique performance. Watch out: Next Luna could be you!
