Schröders Garten: Tristan Brusch

In the organizer's words:

A darkly romantic trilogy is complete: With his new album, "Am Anfang", Tristan Brusch strives for everything that hurts, eludes or is actually too big to bear. He writes addictive, dangerous songs that combine magical catchiness with depth of content.

"Am Anfang" is a coming-of-age album that tells a lot about loss. The loss of youth, innocence, a love, possibly: oneself. Like all truly great albums about loss, this one goes far beyond its subject and tells much more about life, love, society - the ability to let go. In this respect, the album fits perfectly into the epic trilogy that Tristan Brusch is now concluding with "Am Anfang", preceded by the albums "Am Rest" and "Am Wahn".

The new album occupies a special place in this universal romantic relationship narrative, which is always also a portrait of love in non-committal times. Tristan Brusch has written disturbingly beautiful songs for "Am Anfang", in this very special style that no one else in this country has mastered. "Am Anfang" was recorded in the early winter of 2024 with producer Olaf Opal and musicians Felix Weicht (bass), Timon Schempp (drums) and Friedrich Paravicini (strings) in a former children's home on the Danish border that had been converted into a studio.

Whether it's about how the protagonist lost a friend to drug addiction in "Grundsolider Schläger", about the everyday life of a hustler in "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" (in duet with Veronika Hahn) or looking at the subject from above in "Haifisch": Tristan Brusch sheds light on our big and small losses from different perspectives. "Vierzehn" is about the longing for an innocence that probably never existed, the indulgent "Die Liebe in Maßen" is a blissful and self-ironic noir hit, "Die lange Nacht" automatically conjures up a sea of lighters, while "Heiliges Land" tells of the naivety and bigotry in the political commitment of young middle-class children without exposing or even mocking them.

Through this music you can experience complete inner freedom, it lets you float above things, become one with everything, bear the pain, the regret, the longing and yourself. "Was it a fairy tale without end / Was it unreasonable, ridiculous, too big?" asks Tristan Brusch at the end of this wonderfully hopeful album in the last song, "Tristan and Elise". It is a sentence without a question mark.
We are delighted that Tristan Brusch will be performing live on our open-air stage in Lüneburg for the first time on 04.09.2026. Tickets are available now.
