At Home Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

"Almost Forgotten Tales" is the debut album from AT HOME - Andre Nitze. It is released in an elegant digipack, with photography by Sarah-Johanna Eick. "Almost Forgotten Tales" is a concept album in which 10 pieces of music are interwoven with each another, conjuring up a world of images. It is Nitze's journey through our world. And the sound originates from the stillness of our apartments at night. Our home. Questioned about his musical roots and influences, Nitze replies: "I grew up listening to "This Mortal Coil". David Sylvian's songs have always been a part of my life to the present day. Robert Smith was like my "guitar teacher". I think "A Forest" was the first piece I played on the guitar. For me Ivo Watts Russell is one of the greatest innovators in the music industry. And in my view these archetypal albums were all created under his direction. In other words what we today call 4AD. The Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Dead can Dance, Clan of Xymox... These are albums that aren't hyped much but everyone knows them. If they hadn't existed, the music world would have been a much poorer place. I'm especially thinking of albums like "Sleep With The Fishes". This influenced me a great deal. On "almost forgotten tales" Nitze sets three poems by Dylan Thomas to music; he explains why: "It is the sense of the absurd in his writing. His writing is a true source of inspiration to me. Jon Cale was the one who first introduced me to Thomas. I devoured everything he wrote. "Being But Men" is all about how simple it is to feel happiness. Something that we knew all about as children. It's so simple... but we've forgotten how to do it. This is not a new idea. But nobody has captured the essence of it like Thomas." so Nitze.
