When was Marschland formed? I don't know, but I think when I heard Townes van Zandt, Nothin, Waiting around to die, Rake... that's when I first defined what I wanted. Depressing music with acoustic guitar and clear vocals. Zandt in German? I can name many other artists now. Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, late stuff by Cash, Chelsea Wolfe. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, the dirtiest blues, which I know far too little about. John Lee Hooker I Hated The Day I Was Born. So many big names that are far away. But with Zandt, something awoke in me again, the will to express my inner self through music. Who or what was responsible for this is irrelevant. With the awakening, the will and drive to create something that was thought to be almost dead, it blazed again, the fire. And then? With the fire came the riffs, the lyrics and finally the name. Marschland. Made perfect sense to me. From the big cities to the moors. From chaos, noise and subway stations to seclusion. Village, fields, forests. Stories from solitude. Still processing. But one thing above all: freedom. Musical, artistic freedom. What is Marschland? Doesn't sound like all the artists mentioned. But no longer having to answer this question actually defines a piece of this freedom. Catatonic folk. Townes van Zandt in ****.
