Last year, Justus Köhncke became Kinky Justice, releasing an EP of covers of the likes of Iggy Pop and the Velvet Underground called Music and Lyrics (alas, no Hugh Grant guest spot).

But now Köhncke is headed back to the dance floor with Safe and Sound, his third album on Kompakt. It's due out February 19.

The Doppelleben follow-up is a 10-track instrumental workout anchored by a cover of "Feuerland", a 1974 tune by Michael Rother of Kraftwerk/Neu!/Harmonia. You can hear that brooding track by clicking here.

A world tour in support of Safe and Sound is expected, but for now Köhncke has a chunk of European dates to play in the next few months.
