Check out »It Is All Overman«, the new official video from Overman

German 3-piece Overman have released a new video, the title track from their recent album »It Is All Overman«. Here’s what the band had to say: “The track »It Is All Overman« is about the circle of life and the individual being thrown in a world that calls for assimilation – incorporating our version of the gray men who steal the time in the book »Momo« by Michael Ende. Is there a way for our Overman protagonist to stay colorful – to stay himself? We think there is only one way to find it out. Watch the f**ing video!

For the video to »It Is All Overman« we collaborated together with Wojtek – an old friend and experienced director and we were allowed to film at the Kolonistenhof at the Hüttener Berge in Northern Germany – a very nice place full of art. The concept to the video was heavily influenced by SVIN’s »How Deep Is Your Love«, as we loved the cinematography and the idea behind. After all it was worth (and fun) to undress our good friend Jan “The Blade”, drag him naked over a field and paint him black in the freezing cold rain! Many thanks to Wojtek, Jan “The Blade”, the kind people from the Kolonistenhof and to our label Sliptrick for supporting us!”

Multi-instrumentalist and musical workaholic Jan-Marc Ivers has teamed up with old companions and scene veterans Hauke Drews on bass guitar and Christoph Wollmann on vocals and delivers something truly unique in the 56 minute opus.

As their sound is deeply connected to psychedelic and stoner rock, the songs cross easily the border between rock, punk, jazz and pop. You will find straight songs, psychedelic trips, deeply melancholic pieces or even pure dadaism influenced passages.

If you are looking for a small but intense break from the madness of everyday life, you may enjoy the progressively shaped title track »It Is All Overman« and the more drifting »Desert Ship«.

Things get more serious with the melancholic “lies” which deals with one of the most dominant diseases of our time – depression. But as the Overmen state it, there is always hope. In all of their lyrics you can see the ambiguity coming through, leaving you “not alone” but in good company with like-minded people.

If you love cheese, like the Overmen do and don’t take things too seriously, you might want to give “cut the cheese” a try. The 12-minute instruction of how to deal with that magical yellow product is a mind melting jazz track, that combines something best imagined to be presented at an art exhibition with one barely naked person cutting slowly some cheese in front of a minimalistic wall painting. Because why not?

The 24-minute song “morning chat” is about losing and finding something. It can be based on love, addiction or both as it is a mesmerizing musical roadtrip best served with a glass of red wine or whatever may be your recreational substance of choice.
