Klammheim's debut is a collection of melancholic, soft-spoken and acoustic folk songs that occasionally reveal Klammheim's roots in heaver, rockier sounds. All vocals are sung in lead singer Dea's Styrian (Austrian) dialect, and to augment the band's line-up of guitars, accordion and percussion are guest musicians such as Thomas Bøjden (Die Weisse Rose) and Benjamin Sperling (Jännerwein). The album is based around the longing for the Heimat, the mythical homeland of German romantics and nostalgia for youth. Housed in a lavish digipak with 16-page booklet.

MATHIAS GRASSOW & THOMAS WEISS - 'Conscience' CD (Nextera)
"Conscience: An authority between the human made ego and his creator". Grassow and Weiss present ambient, with a slight touch of experimentalism. Deep washes of synthesizers, with sparse, slow melodies andsome far away, alienated sounds. Grassow and Weiss walk the well-known path of ambient: through a misty forest on an early sunday morning, with a touch of sunlight. A beautiful release with sympathetic artwork.
