Tocotronic Releases New Album 'Golden Years' with Political Undertones

The influential German indie rock band marks its 14th studio album with themes of resistance and reflection, just days before the Bundestag election.

Tocotronic, a cornerstone of the German indie rock scene, released their 14th studio album, 'Golden Years,' on February 14, 2025.
The album features 12 tracks blending poetic, political, and introspective themes, with a mix of gentle melodies and edgier tones.
The first single, 'Denn sie wissen, was sie tun,' critiques far-right political movements and emphasizes the importance of progressive values.
The band, now a trio following guitarist Rick McPhail's hiatus, will embark on a tour across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland starting in March 2025.
This release coincides with the 30th anniversary of Tocotronic's debut album, 'Digital ist besser,' a landmark in German alternative music history.
