KREIDLER - WEEKEND
30th anniversary reissue
Out on Bureau-b 499 LP/CD/Digital
30th of October 2026

Finally. After so many years of contractual negotiations, we are most excited to reissue our first album, which has been out of print for more than two decades, on our label bureau-b.
Weekend was released internationally in October 1996 to an abundance of enthusiastic reviews.
Bleed in Frontpage: „The atmosphere that their pieces consistently evoke is more than just a Weekend’s description of what might still be happening around you; it is a moment of clarification - set in stone for years to come.
In a sense, Kreidler are more radical than many other attempts to reduce digital sound aesthetics to the realm of the audible, and certainly go further than Tortoise, who repeatedly seek to simulate electronic music through their musical skill. An incredibly good album.“

Chris Hill in Westnet: „Weekend is split between the familiar, classical arena of bass guitar and drums, and the electronic realm of keyboards and samples, for a simultaneously inviting and benevolently alien experience. Take a listen, and hear why Momus, David Bowie, and Stereolab number among their fans. „

Or Rob Young’s take in The Wire: „Weekend is a real bolt from the blue, a deceptively simple instrumental corpus, drily produced and with barely a hair out of place. [..] A shimmering 14-track set that dusts off the twin legacies of DAF and Felt.“
