Limited candy color vinyl LP pressing. This is Alexander Hacke's first album since leaving Einstürzende Neubauten. It takes it's title - and draws it's inspiration - from the home he and Danielle de Picciotto recently established on the outskirts of Berlin, marking a milestone after 14 years of nomadic living. Named after the German word for 'clearing', LICHTUNG has become their personal haven and a place for reflection amid a period of global upheaval. On the album, the pair step beyond the familiar pull of repetitive drones, exploring more complex sound structures and uncharted electronic terrains. Recorded in their new home, the process was as demanding as it was creatively rewarding. They embraced experimentation with new textures, while Danielle returned to the piano, an instrument she had long missed, finding new ways to express herself. Mindfully written in German as a nod to the language of their surroundings, the lyrics are a loving gesture that firmly anchors this Berlin-born record.
