popsongs by Die Zärtlichkeit
Created in the perpetual spiral movement with and toward ourselves, ten personal songs have emerged. A departure from epic pop theater. Songs as an end in themselves. A soundtrack and a space for you, your thoughts, perspectives, and feelings.
Shaped by the last two years in the pop circus and in private life, by disappointments and fears, always on the verge of surrender, yet slowly and steadily evolving into the versions of ourselves we are today.
Held together by our love for pop. Rawer. More direct. And, in our own opinion, even more to the point than our previous releases.
