Emergence

reception

hooligans & tiny hands received positive overall reviews.

In the music magazine Intro , Jasmin Lütz wrote that the album consists of "ten loving guitar pop songs" that are "full of dreamy emotionality". Even if Schröder is not yet one of the great singer-songwriters , he succeeds in creating “fragile songs about confused moods, pathological moments and visions of the future” that one likes to listen to.

For the online magazine Laut.de , Oliver Lambrecht wrote that Schröder could see his enthusiasm for playing. Lambrecht compared the song “the mood is confusing” with “The world can no longer understand me” by Tocotronic , but the guitar is “more fragile” and the singing is “more disturbed”.
