TSCHAIKOWSKY & KANN: pre-order for debut album A New Way to Life starts today / two new songs, “Blaue Stunde” and “I Knew It Would Be A Mistake But I Did It Anyway” out now
Vesperian is pleased to announce that the pre-order for Tschaikowsky & Kann's debut album, A New Way To Life, opens today. To mark the occasion, the duo also releases two new, standalone songs, "Blaue Stunde" and "I Knew It Would Be A Mistake But I Did It Anyway", available now on all digital platforms.
Following their acclaimed maxi single I Thought This Was Going To Be My Year, Niklas Tschaikowsky (guitars) and Leonhard Kann (synthesiser, drum computer, field recordings) continue to chart their own course through electro-acoustic terrain, where guitar lines and analogue synth textures fold into one another, and tape hum and outdoor field recordings blur the line between studio and landscape.
With "Blaue Stunde" and "I Knew It Would Be A Mistake But I Did It Anyway", Tschaikowsky & Kann offer another glimpse of A New Way To Life, due for release on October 23, 2026 via Vesperian.
A New Way to Life tracklist:
- Begin Again (7:50)

That approach has already won Tschaikowsky & Kann admirers well beyond their home scene. Paul Riedl of Blood Incantation described their sound as:
"Amazing & pastoral electro-acoustic synthesis as only barefooted Germans can do, with the added bonus of natural soundscape textures via field recordings and the wonderful hum of analog tape. A delightfully bohemian blend of Först-ian Kosmische á la Cluster/Harmonia (as if played by Popol Vuh), the worldly folk meditations of Mo Boma & John Fahey, and the environmental atmosphere of Japanese gods Yutaka Hirose or Hiroshi Yoshimura. Simply the highest recommendation."
