TJARK

Now TJARK is ready for the next stage. One in which he frees himself from the expectations of others, but also from his own. One in which he leaves the big city behind and exchanges it for the tranquil village life in his old home. Instead of indulging in Hamburg's neighborhood culture every evening, TJARK now enjoys the peace and idyll of the Brandenburg countryside again—and has taken two steps forward with this supposed step backward. "In 2024, we played a ton of festivals and support shows. That's why I decided at the beginning of the year to move back home to have more peace and quiet, and that was a very important step. Most of the songs were written and produced here, many of them with good friends of mine, and this environment had a big influence on the album." It wasn't just the hustle and bustle of the city that locked TJARK out of his creative oasis, but also the curious questions about new music that his fans pestered him with. Instead, he withdrew almost completely for three months and zoomed out from his perspective. “For the first time in two years, I was able to really distinguish between myself as a private person and TJARK as an artist. It was totally relaxing. I allowed myself to ask myself: Regardless of what I've released so far, what do I really want to do next? What style do I want to produce in, what topics do I want to write about, and how can I make even better songs?”
