The album is a result of a year that we all will never forget. Maybe a year we all lost a future we thought we had. Its influenced by many strokes of fate of Matthias like a fatal crash that nearly costs his left leg. So its an atmospheric dark work that shows all sides of a dramatic year with and without the pandemic. Some songs like ADORE U, WHEN HAVE YOU GONE MAD and DONT TRY TO SOOTHE ME are impressed directly by the pandemic situation but there are also very personal songs like U R THE ONE and SUMMERNIGHT. GOD KNOWS, DANCE TOMORROW and UNIFORM allready showed its live-potential during the last concerts in Saint Petersburg and Moscow in 2019. Since years with OHNE DICH you can find a new German song on a NOVA-SPES album including a premiere: Guido took part of the second voice for the first time.“Its really hard to describe an album I wrote. Especially ?2020? is not easy cause I don?t care for any danceability or atmosphere when I wrote the songs. It was a process of opening my mind and telling my story and on its end the result was the album that you could love or hate. But I can say listen loud and in stereo!”

I'm in love with cold war synth-pop is not just one of the album tracks, it's also the raison d'etre for this album.
