Influenced by Milky Chance, Bosse, The Notwist, Hannes Wader. Silvan Herbst grew up in a small Black Forest village, raised by his grandmother, Lotte, in a house that smelled of pine needles and cherry cake. He learned to play the harmonica she gave him for his 16th birthday, its sound echoing the train whistles in the valley. After Lotte’s recent passing, he began turning her old recipe books into lyric journals, writing songs in the quiet of her empty kitchen. His music is a conversation with her ghost, a blend of folk warmth and shuffling beats, crafted with the same patience he learned sanding cuckoo clocks as a teenager.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Der letzte Schliff am Zirbenholz, im Oktoberlicht.
Wir hatten die Geduld verlernt, kannten das Gefühl nicht.
Die Hände voller Splitter, aber die Augen klar.
Zum ersten Mal seit Jahren war da wieder etwas wahr.

[Chorus]
Das ist kein Beten, das ist besser, das ist Machen.
Wir schleifen an den alten, krummen Sachen.

[Verse 2]
Der Staub in der Luft, der nach Harz und Versprechen schmeckt.
Jede Kerbe eine Strophe, die dein Leben aufgeweckt.
„Geduld“, hast du gesagt, „ist auch nur ein Werkzeug.“
Und wir hören deine Stimme jetzt im Knarren vom Gehölz.

[Chorus]
Das ist kein Beten, das ist besser, das ist Machen.
Wir schleifen an den alten, krummen Sachen.

[Bridge]
Und plötzlich gibt die Maserung ein Muster frei.
Kein Kampf mehr, keine Mühe, nur noch Schreinerei.

[Outro]
Nur noch Schreinerei.
Für dich und uns. Vorbei.
