To record the successor of »Moral & Wahnsinn« (2011) the band gave itself more than 1000 days. It wouldn’t be long till it came clear that the variety of ideas were not to be put on a usual record. “It was pure magic. Unbelievable and almost unreal. Though we’ve been making music together for so long, we still manage to amaze and surprise ourselves. Our wealth is joy.”
Where the band would be kissed by the muses, in this case did matter to them.„This time we have been composing far from home. We went to Ural and the Florida Keys, hiked through Riesengebirge, found solitude at Uckermark. And our rehearsal room was built out of a houseboat.”
The creative process peaked during the week-long intense live studio session. „Nothing was safe from us. Not even our own songs. We’ve learnt to seize the magic of a moment, just as well as the persistent transformation of a fleeting thought in a great song”
»Tief.Tiefer.« (Deep.Deeper.) is demanding. Identical twins. Only seemingly equal. Fundamentally different. Not convenient and easy. But exciting and new.
