Landfermann also plays all these instruments on the album, although he has help on a few of these ten tracks from instrumental guests. Landfermann has been compared to saxophonist John Zorn and vocalist Diamanda Gal�s, two extremely disparate artists, yet he's also � in a sense � in a category all his own. Many of these songs will make you picture a kind of German cabaret singer, when they're being played.

The album's title translates to "My word in your darkness." Not being a Germain speaker, we'll need to take his word for it that it's an album of, "Introspection, self-awareness, and � ultimately � about beauty. It's experience, appreciation, and sometimes, the painful loss of it."
