Some people know Florian Sievers as part of the pop duo Talking To Turtles. Under the stage name Das Paradies Sievers writes and sings for the first time in his mother tongue, and that makes it so impressively easy as if he had done nothing else all his life. Sievers music is characterized by indie rock of the kind 'Slacker of world fame' and with fine soundtops from the world of reggae, dub and deep house, there is a friendly, almost hippie atmosphere. Sievers combines the world of words and sound of Das Paradies as a part-time hermit in his Leipzig studio. A 20 sqm trial and error space, only one hour away from the windowless but legendary Berlin unicorn studio of his friend and producer Simon Frontzek. As a time taster, his observations and the resulting phrases are always wonderfully mature. Once the right word is found, he lets it go again. Pop as Zen meditation in a world in which people harden their points of view again. "The universe doesn't know what's happening to him either. What looks like a yes could also be a no. I wasn't serious about all of us." An album that releases us with these lines can be a liberation from paranoia or a plea for relaxation or both.
