Jägerborn - Recon By Fire

Jägerborn is Berlin-based Songwriter and Producer Tobias Gnüchtel.

After life, late capitalism and a PhD in Literature stalled the production of the second album of his band "museum", Gnüchtel retreated to his Berlin apartment to record songs that had piled up over the years, some of them dating back to when he was just 17. Over the next two years he recorded and mixed what would become "A Jäger Is Born", his first album as a solo artist with every single instrument played by himself.

"Recon By Fire" is the second release from the upcoming album. "'Recon' is a very special and important song for me", Gnüchtel says, "I wrote it even before museum started recording 'traces of'. I carried it around for years and never found the right direction to take it. When I finally found it, it was the song that took the recording of the album off the ground and gave me confidence for my somewhat solipsistic journey. It was tough balancing the layered arrangement with the sense of yearning and the feeling of having to get the hell out of a terrible place and situation that are conveyed by the lyrics and the melody. But I think the song is the best thing I’ve done so far and I’m quite proud of it."

There is no masterplan for Jägerborn yet, no label, no management, no booking, just the need to put music out there again.

First shows are planned in Berlin for late summer.
