Over the past three years, the Berlin-based band has carved out a reputation as one of Germany’s most vital and uncompromising new bands. Formed around Seattle-born vocalist and lyricist Claudia Schlutius, the five-piece have brought their exhilarating live energy to festivals like The Great Escape, Reeperbahn and Fusion, toured the UK and Germany, and shared stages with Sleaford Mods, Primal Scream, Getdown Services, DEADLETTER, and more. With two EPs produced alongside Olaf Opal (The Notwist) and Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), they’ve already made serious noise. But YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! marks their most expansive and self-assured work to date.

Their new single ‘War Machine’ is a tribute to Claudia’s aging father, a Vietnam veteran and commercial fisherman in Alaska, whose fiercely independent spirit left its mark on her. “You’re a War Machine” becomes a line directed both outward and inward, a recognition of inherited restlessness and the fragility of the people we admire.

Today the Berlin-based outfit return with their electrifying new single ‘Waste Your Potential!’, a track that channels the restless energy of confronting a life that didn’t turn out as planned. Fierce, distorted guitars crash into buzzing synthesizers to create a tense, cathartic soundscape that nods to the jagged edge of acts like Shelf Lives – unleashing a track as emotionally charged as it is sonically unrelenting.

The single is accompanied by a striking and surreal music video, featuring a gang of vampires navigating the quiet monotony of farm life while secretly longing for the thrill of the night. It’s a tongue-in-cheek meditation on desire, domesticity, and the wildness we’re taught to repress.

‘The Next Big Thing’, showcases a new sonic direction for LAWN CHAIR. A pulsating bassline leads the charge as the band experiments with electronic-infused drum patterns and stripped-back guitars. Claudia Schlutius’ lyrics paint a wry picture of the pressures of self-improvement and the relentless chase for fame – echoing the false promises of an industry that thrives on ambition but offers no guarantees.

In 2024, LAWN CHAIR took a step back from the spotlight to focus on their highly anticipated debut album. Countless hours in the studio were spent refining a sound that pushes the boundaries of the German indie landscape. Now, they re-emerge with ‘Fancy Car, Girlfriend and the Big House’ – a track that captures their signature energy while offering a biting critique of unshakable confidence and unchecked privilege.

Driven by infectious guitar riffs, pulsating synths, and a dancefloor-ready beat, the song serves as a sonic adrenaline rush. Claudia Schlutius’ vocals cut through with precision as she narrates the life of men even Jordan Belfort would admire – untouched by self-doubt, financial struggles, or social rejection. Yet, an unsettling voice lingers in the background, whispering reminders of the other 99% of humanity.

Last month, the band released ‘Sunset Heartbreak’ and have followed that up with new single ‘Punkrock Band’.

On their new single ‘Punkrock Band’ Claudia Schlutius says: “Don’t we all sometimes just want to start a band and live the glamorous life of rock stars cruising the streams of showbiz? Probably not, which is why the maddeningly cheerful acoustic guitars in all their glory of the 90s contrast the ambition the lyrics provide. Looking at you Michael Stipe,” she continues.

After releasing a self-produced debut EP in the spring of 2022, LAWN CHAIR returned to the studio in the autumn to record their follow-up. Eat The Beans And Wear The Jeans! was recorded with the help of esteemed producer Olaf Opal (The Notwist) and L.A.-based mixer Chris Coady (Beach House, Future Islands, TV On The Radio), who helped take the songs to the next level. The new songs present a new and interesting twist to timeless topics like unrequited love, the despondent boredom growing up in the countryside and the hardships of show business. With this new EP LAWN CHAIR are underscoring their rightful ambitions to a much larger audience.

New single ‘Sunset Heartbreak’ tells the story of a rural laggard who is constantly pitying himself and blaming everything but his own shortcomings. The song is packed with lethargic resentment and intense longing for that long lost love all wrapped in catchy guitar riffs and cowbell goodness.

Eat The Beans And Wear The Jeans!, due out April 28th, refines the band’s own blend of indie and punk rock, adding wavy atmospheres, jangly country guitars and the occasional synthesizer to the raw and powerful sound the band is known for.
