After a nine-year break, Talking To Turtles have achieved something beautiful here: an album with a single feeling. You get it right at the beginning and then, song after song, you’re glad that it doesn’t stop. There is a friendly serenity and gentle introspection in this softly and unpretentiously played music that sways and slowly exhales.

An album with a single feeling

For example in “Grapefruit Knife”, a gently grooving song whose vocals are a bit reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens, but also of the corresponding moments in Tunng’s music. “And What’s On Your Mind” was created in a studio on the North Frisian dike, Florian and Claudia Sievers trace life with openness and a very conscious melancholy.
