In late October, Vesperian will release A New Way To Life, the debut album by Berlin-based duo Tschaikowsky & Kann. Their music moves through ambient, Krautrock and kosmische Musik in equal measure — meditative and slow-burning, with a dreamlike, introspective pull that rewards deep listening. Ahead of the album, we are issuing this 12" maxi-single carrying its title track, "I Thought This Was Going To Be My Year", which will also appear on the album. The B-side holds two exclusive pieces, "Slow Morning" and "Slow Evening", available on vinyl only on this maxi-single. All three tracks are entirely instrumental.
Tschaikowsky & Kann is Niklas Tschaikowsky (guitars) and Leonhard Kann (synthesiser, drum computer, field recording). Their sound draws on a lineage of German electronic and experimental music — echoes of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Harmonia and Brian Eno run through it — filtered into a quieter, more contemporary register. The duo has already shared stages with artists including Hayden Pedigo, Minami Deutsch and Blood Incantation.
The maxi 12" is pressed on clear/light-blue vinyl, limited to 300 copies worldwide, and will not be repressed in this configuration. Further details on the forthcoming album will follow shortly.
The pre-order for Tschaikowsky & Kann’s debut album, A New Way To Life, will start on September 15.
