Tracklist

Laune der Natur contains 15 German-language titles that deal with death, loss (most notably those of Jochen Hülder and Wolfgang Rohde, their former manager and drummer, respectively) and transience of relationships. As with the previous studio album Ballast der Republik, some of the lyrics are a collaboration between Campino, the band's front man, and the hip-hop musician Marteria. The music title Unter den Wolken was added to the album as the first single in April 2017.
