about

"When you don't have a single home, the no man's land of being in transit can be strangely comforting."
'Heimwehg' is a mixture of the German word 'heimweh' (aching for home) and 'heimweg' (the way home). These two words represent the sound of Hannes Smith's first own release. Hannes, born in the former German communist area in 1986, lived in Reykjavik for the past two years and wrote this EP about the way back home to Germany.

The sound of 'Heimwehg' stands for the mood of in between: everything in between leaving a place and arriving in a new world created by the feeling of an aching heart and the rhythms of travelling. Grooving rhythm patterns of organic sounds combined with dreamy and haunting sounds make this travel back home to your heart an unforgetable journey.

Describing the way with 'heimwehg' everything starts with 'SNPE' to create a feeling of leaving and exploring a new place. Once you are sitting in the airplane or train and listen to '19810' the sad feeling about leaving your home explodes like a geysir in your heart. Arrived at your final destination, feeling happy and free, listening to 'Dis, quand reviends-tu' you recognize to go and take the next ride to begin another round in
circle.
