Eine kleine Nachtmusik (album)

Eine kleine Nachtmusik is the debut album by the British alternative rock band Levellers. It was released in 1987 on their own Hag label. The album's title is taken from the German name for Mozart's Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, K. 525, "Eine kleine Nachtmusik."

The album is characterized by its raw, folk-punk sound, reflecting the Levellers' early DIY ethos. It features a blend of acoustic instruments like violin and harmonica with electric guitars and drums. The lyrical themes often focus on political and social issues, anti-establishment sentiments, and observations of everyday life.

While Eine kleine Nachtmusik did not achieve mainstream success upon its initial release, it is considered an important record in the band's discography, showcasing their formative sound and establishing their distinctive blend of folk and punk influences. It is now a sought-after item among Levellers fans. The album was later re-released in various formats, often with bonus tracks.
