"The EP features the second single taken from the re-release of their critically acclaimed debut album Eine Kleine Traurigkeit.
The single version of ‘Tiefgang’ distils all the qualities of early Sankt Otten – crackly samples, ominous beats, and Carsten Sandkaemper’s vocals – into an astringent, heady brew. Restrained yet surprisingly potent, the track’s compelling energy comes from its distinctive rhythmic momentum, somewhere between a swagger and a march.
The four previously unreleased tracks from 1999/2000 – ‘Morgen Ist’, ‘Blumen Für Den Dandy’, ‘Heimkino’ and ‘Eine Neue Welt’ – are all essential additions to the Sankt Otten canon, offering further evidence that Sankt Otten are simply incapable of penning a bad song. They take the band’s gorgeous blueprint and add splashes of instrumental colour – surges of strings, flashes of brass, an echoing piano – each one a perfect combination of masterful composition and atmospheric detail, immediately gratifying yet yielding wondrous new dimensions on repeat listens."
