# Die Vögel serve some fresh Fratzengulasch
Humour from Hamburg is something special. Often ironic, often based
around a certain wording, always very cheeky. It therefore comes with no
surprise that the title of Hanseatic duo **Die Vögel**'s new EP might be
strange to the non-German-speaking audience: the new tracks
'Fratzengulasch' and 'Maikäferbenzin' were released on **DJ Koze**s
label **Pampa records** just yesterday.
Die Vögel, consisting of **Mense Reents** (Egoexpress) and **Jakobus
Siebels** and best known for their [2009 dancefloor filler 'Blaue
Moschee'][1]{: target="_blank"}, are being joined by Hamburg singer
**Ebba Durstewitz** of the band **JaKönigJa** for the hypnotic brass
track 'Fratzengulasch' -- which translates to something like 'mug
goulash'. They also just released a pretty funny music video for the
single release, showing grotesque and funny grimaces based on photo
material from around the last century, getting more and more colourful
and silly as the track continues.
The EP's flipside doesn't take itself that serious either:
'Maikäferbenzin' (roughly translated 'maybug petrol') gets along on an
instrumental-only basis while focussing more on groove and a damn deep
bassline. Watch the music video below and [listen to the new EP over at
Pampa's SoundCloud][2]{: target="_blank"}.
While the *Fratzengulasch* EP was published on July 18th it was being
announced that Die Vögel will be releasing their debut album on Pampa in
2012 -- so expect more humour from Hamburg.
