Moderat's formation began back… Read Full Bio ↴Moderat are Modeselektor and Apparat.
Moderat's formation began back in 2002 in Berlin, Germany when Sascha Ring (aka Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (aka Modeselektor) recorded an EP for the record label BPitch Control ("Auf Kosten der Gesundheit"). When it came time to begin working on an album, Moderat suddenly broke up.
Meanwhile Modeselektor set a milestone in German music history with their sophomore album, Happy Birthday!, including musicians such as Puppetmastaz, Maximo Park and Thom Yorke. Amongst a slew of remixes for the likes of Thom Yorke and Björk, Modeselektor also went on to tour with Radiohead across Japan in 2008.
Apparat, on the other hand, moved forward with his album Walls in 2007 (after his collaboration with Ellen Allien on "Orchestra of Bubbles"), taking a musical path that was more band-oriented and kept him on tour for several years running.
2008 saw the reunion of this project and the three members of Moderat went back to the studio to continue working together and finally released their 1st full album "Moderat" in April 2009. This is a monumental 'audio-visual declaration' album, which includes ten videos by Berlin's highly regarded visualists Pfadfinderei.

Easy Prey
Moderat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, I know
Little space to back down
On your map
Raised among carnivorans
A bitter taste
I am just a low hanging fruit
The lyrics of Moderat's song "Easy Prey" reflect themes of vulnerability, power dynamics, and self-awareness. The opening line "Drive me to the edge and further, Yes, I know" suggests a willingness to be pushed to one's limits, acknowledging the dangers that lie ahead. This could be interpreted as someone knowingly entering a situation where they may be taken advantage of or manipulated. The next line, "Little space to back down, On your map," highlights the lack of escape or retreat options, emphasizing a sense of being trapped or cornered.
The following stanza, "Raised among carnivorans, A bitter taste," implies that the person singing has grown up in an environment where survival of the fittest is the norm. This upbringing has left a bitter taste, suggesting experiences of being preyed upon or constantly fighting for survival. The final line, "I am just a low hanging fruit, Easy prey," further reinforces this vulnerability. The singer sees themselves as an easy target, perhaps due to their past experiences or their inherently kind and trusting nature.
Overall, the lyrics of "Easy Prey" capture the struggle of someone who recognizes their vulnerability and has experienced being taken advantage of in the past. It reflects a sense of resignation, as they navigate a world where they feel like an easy target.

WTF, only just found about the new Moderat album couple days ago thanks to a youtube ad, had given up hope on a new album. Didn't realise Royksopp were active again too, that's epic news. Something to counter the grimness of 2022
