Julian Knoth finds solace in the statement.
Since 2010, the German post-punk band Die Nerven has been shaking up the music scene with their raw, emotional, and introspective sound. Consisting of three insanely productive musicians, every project they touch seems to turn to gold. But let's face it, there's only room for so much creativity in one spaceship – thus, the birth of their side projects.
Julian Knoth, Die Nerven's bassist and the least busy one compared to his colleagues, recently released his first solo album, "Unsichtbares Meer" (Invisible Sea). Born during the pandemic year of 2020, this album came to life from the songs that didn't quite fit in with other projects. The lyrics are refreshingly straightforward and delve into Knoth's personal experiences, touching on themes such as self-discovery, depression, and hope. With just a few additional instruments and a small string ensemble, Kanth's solo work creates a stark contrast to Die Nerven's energetic and layered sound.
Interestingly, "Unsichtbares Meer" reflects the collaborative spirit that runs deep within Die Nerven. Knoth's solo venture showcases his versatility as an artist, which in turn influences the band's future projects with fresh perspectives and experimental sounds. And don't forget about Julian's other bands – Peter Muffin Trio, Die Benjamins, Yum Yum Club, and Njelk. Each one adds another dimension to Knoth's musical portfolio, indirectly shaping the sound and direction of Die Nerven.
And that's not all – Die Nerven members are involved in all kinds of collaborative projects, as evidenced by Kevin Kuhn's work with other bands[3]. These collaborations often lead to cross-pollination of ideas and influences between the projects, further enriching Die Nerven's musical journey.
