Drops of water on a pastel green background announce the approaching spring, symbolize the cycle of life. The cover photo sets the mood that guitarist Sebastian B?hlen takes up on his new album Fun Flowers. When nature awakens to new life, when it grows and sprouts again everywhere, the spirits of life in some people also return. The songs on his new album sound correspondingly colourful and cheerful. With his new album, the award-winning guitarist sets a conscious antithesis to his predecessor Born under this soft wind (also released by Laika Records). The 2017 concept album with the Israeli singer Efrat Alony was much darker both lyrically and musically. In the past months I had the opportunity to play many concerts. These were intense moments that made it clear to me how much fun and joy I feel when playing in front of an audience. I wanted to preserve this mood and take it into the recording studio, B?hlen remembers the basic idea of Fun Flowers.
