HEIMLICH

2007

We wanted to do something differently, so in 2007 we started recording 12 new songs in our office, turning the place effectively into our own studio. Improvising with borrowed technology, we started writing more original songs, slowly moving away from playing traditional music “our way”. “Deine Tränen”, and “Just like you” have become favourites in our live shows. As it happened, this was the first of three albums that feature this way of recording.
