about

On "Shelter", Enzo Kreft takes the listener on a penetrating journey through the human experience in times of crisis and war.

The ominous instrumental intro "Here Come the Birds of Prey," captures the sense of impending doom and foreboding that comes with the start of a war.

"Standing on the Soil of Another" reflects on the futility of war and the consequences of invading and occupying foreign lands. The lyrics emphasize that true liberation cannot be achieved by force and attempting to do so only causes further harm.

"Duck and Cover" refers to the 1950s American cartoon of the same name about Bert the turtle who knows what to do in case of a blast. He encourages children to follow his example and duck and cover in case of an attack. The lyrics have been updated in an ironic Enzo Kreft style, with the suggestion that a nuclear blast can be "fun".

"Blood Diamonds" criticizes the use of diamonds to fund wars and buy weapons, depicting the dark side of the diamond trade. Diamonds, once a symbol of love and beauty, are being used to fuel violence.

"No to These Atrocities" is an anti-war song that mourns the loss of innocent lives and calls for action against war. The instrumental "The Power to Turn the Tide" conveys a message of empowerment despite adversity and inspires to never give up hope. Both songs serve as a reminder of the power of individuals to make a difference.

"A Refugee Song" describes in short poetic terms the hardships faced by refugees who have fled their homes due to war and conflict. Despite the challenges, the song conveys a message of hope.

"War Winter" is a spoken word Krautrock-like piece that paints a bleak picture of the harsh realities of war during winter, with soldiers trudging through a desolate and frozen landscape.

The pulsating "On the Run Looking for Shelter" describes the fear and urgency of trying to find a safe place amidst the chaos. The lyrics create a vivid image of the protagonist running for his life and dodging bullets and bombs.

"The Last Stand" is a powerful instrumental electro song that pays tribute to the courage, honor, and sacrifice of soldiers facing insurmountable odds.

"There Is No Tomorrow" is a new wave electro song that encourages listeners to live in the present moment and embrace life, as the future is uncertain. The lyrics suggest that we should dance and celebrate as if there is no tomorrow, because there may not be.

The instrumental “100 Seconds to Midnight", in which you literally hear the clock tick for 100 seconds, closes the album. Midnight on this Doomsday Clock, created by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, marks the theoretical point of annihilation and the end of the world.

Enzo Kreft's new album “Shelter" is a powerful commentary on war, conflict, and the human experience during times of crisis. Each track captures a different aspect of the devastating effects of war. The album is a reminder of the importance of empathy, solidarity, and hope in times of uncertainty and serves as a call to action against the atrocities of war. The ticking clock in the closing track symbolizes the urgent need for change and the precarious state of the world today.
