Breathe in ... breathe out!

After a year like last one it’s neither easy to sit back, nor to start something new. The ants in your pants keep you moving ...

We will play less this year, and concentrate on recording a new album.

And it is a nice change to spend more time in a beautiful landscape, instead of flying by it in a band-bus. It’s also nice to meet old friends and hang out in Berlin.

We do play a bit though. In Idar-Oberstein and Erkner. And in Worms, Palermo, Hitchin, Aranda de Duero, Marcoussis and Saarbrücken.
Oh, of course it’s great to be out and about.

We start recording our new album PHANTOM SONGS in February … in our own studio. On and off we take all year, with our long time co producer Klaus Wagner and our guest producer JD Foster from NYC encouraging us to experiment with sounds and voices.

This makes it possible for details to develop new dimensions. A process that sometimes takes weeks and months. New ideas form themselves, new horizons are discovered … and we allow ourselves to loose ourselves … and come back. We end up with 13 new songs that contain everything in music and lyrics we had on mind and heart. Playing together remains a thrill!

Here’s a clip that was shot during our recordings.

Sadly Charlie Gillett died on 17. March 2010. With him we all loose a very very special person ...
