New single “Night Train Through The Countryside”

At the moment I release a new single from Mansions In The Sea every month

Check Spotify for the latest MITS songs … the 7th single from my upcoming album „Gloom Folklore“ is out now. „Nighttrain Through The Countryside“ is a song about traveling—through beautiful, vast landscapes, but also within oneself. Spiritual and deep, featuring an acoustic arrangement and warm, melancholic vocals that will hopefully provide fans of folk and singer-songwriters with a few pleasant moments.

Now on all streaming platforms … and Bandcamp of course!

Smalltown Boy Cover

I’ve recorded another new cover version—acoustic, melancholic, and idiosyncratic. This time it’s “Smalltown Boy.” You can see and hear it on YouTube. Enjoy!

Crowdfunding ended

Heute Nacht wurde das Crowdfunding für mein neues Album „Gloom Folklore“ erfolgreich beendet. Vielen lieben Dank nochmal an alle Unterstützerinnen und Unterstützer. Ich bin baff und melde mich in Kürze bei allen persönlich! Das Album erscheint dann voraussichtlich im September auf CD.

3rd single: Appropriate Places

English below …

Heute erscheint die 3. Single aus dem kommenden Mansions In The Sea-Album “Gloom Folklore”: “Appropriate Places” ist ein sehr persönlicher Song darüber seinen Platz in der Welt zu finden …so spirituell gesehen, aber auch ganz praktisch. Ich suche nach wie vor danach

Ich mag die Nummer, auch wenn sie mich vor große Herausforderungen gestellt hat. Ich hab den Song gefühlt 10x neu eingesungen, da ich mir dummerweise die Herausforderung gestellt habe, den Gesang extrem tief anzulegen, aber ich trotzdem die Leichtigkeit der Musik auch in der Stimme einfangen wollte.

Ab sofort auf allen Streaming-Plattformen. Wer den Song auch auf CD hören will, ich habe mir sagen lassen, da läuft aktuell ein kleines sympathisches Crowdfunding auf Startnext.

Today marks the release of the third single from the upcoming Mansions In The Sea album, “Gloom Folklore”: “Appropriate Places” is a very personal song about finding one’s place in the world… spiritually speaking, but also very practically. I’m still searching for it 😉 I like the song, even though it presented me with some great challenges. I re-recorded the song what felt like 10 times, because I foolishly set myself the challenge of singing extremely low, but I still wanted to capture the lightness of the music in my voice.

Now available on all streaming platforms. If you’d like to hear the song on CD, I’ve heard there’s a small, friendly crowdfunding campaign currently running on Startnext.

Crowdfunding “Gloom Folklore”

Crowdfunding. Mein neues Mansions In The Sea Album „Gloom Folklore“ ist fertig – jetzt brauche ich eure Unterstützung.

Nach drei Jahren intensiver Arbeit, Herzblut und Idealismus ist endlich alles aufgenommen, gemischt und gemastert. Die ersten beiden Singles „Under Starlit Skies“ und „In The Cornflower Field“ könnt Ihr auf den Streaming-Plattformen bereits hören, weitere folgen im Monatstakt. Doch damit das Album auch als hochwertige CD (mit exklusiven Bonustracks) erscheinen kann, starte ich heute ein Crowdfunding und bitte Euch um Hilfe.
Wenn ihr handgemachte, ruhige Musik mögt oder einfach unabhängige, ehrliche Kunst unterstützen wollt, freue ich mich über euren Beitrag.

Danke für’s Teilen, Mitfiebern und Möglichmachen!

Crowdfunding. My new Mansions In The Sea album “Gloom Folklore” is finished – now I need your support.
After three years of intensive work, passion, and idealism, everything is finally recorded, mixed, and mastered. You can already hear the first two singles, “Under Starlit Skies” and “In The Cornflower Field,” on streaming platforms, with more to follow monthly. But so that the album can also be released as a high-quality CD (with exclusive bonus tracks), I’m launching a crowdfunding campaign today and asking for your help. If you like handmade, tranquil music or simply want to support independent, honest art, I would appreciate your contribution.

Thanks for sharing, cheering, and making this possible! Sascha

The new Mansions In The Sea newsletter – more personal, more frequent, more exclusive & free album download

Der neue Mansions In The Sea-Newsletter – persönlicher, öfter, exklusiver & Gratis-Album-Download

Ich starte einen neuen Newsletter – rund um Mansions In The Sea und mich als Person. Ich möchte unabhängig sein von Social-Media-Plattformen, denn der Algorithmus kann jederzeit dafür sorgen, dass wir uns nicht mehr lesen. Falls ihr also sicherstellen wollt, dass ihr weiterhin mitbekommt, was ich mache – tragt euch ein!

Der Newsletter kommt einmal im Monat und ist sehr persönlich gehalten: mit Einblicken ins Songwriting, Gedanken, manchmal exklusiven Songs oder Demos, die es nirgendwo sonst gibt, und natürlich allen News von Mansions In The Sea.

Als Dankeschön für die Anmeldung bekommt ihr mein Debütalbum „Terra“ als kostenlosen Download – der Download startet auf der Landing Page, sobald ihr eure E-Mail-Adresse eingetragen habt. Dort könnt ihr außerdem auswählen, ob ihr mir automatisch bei Spotify folgen wollt – das hilft mir sehr, lässt sich aber auch überspringen, wenn ihr z. B. kein Spotify nutzt. Alternativ gibt’s auch die Möglichkeit, das Album „Terra“ über Bandcamp für 0 € herunterzuladen, indem ihr dort eure Mailadresse angebt.

Der bisherige Winter Solitude Newsletter mit Updates zu all meinen Bands bleibt bestehen – kommt aber weiterhin eher seltener und ist sachlicher gehalten. Der neue Newsletter ist eine Ergänzung für alle, die sich speziell für Mansions In The Sea und mich als Person interessieren – und Lust auf mehr persönliche Einblicke haben.

Hier geht’s zur Anmeldung:

Danke fürs Dabeisein.

The new Mansions In The Sea newsletter – more personal, more frequent, more exclusive & free album download

I’m starting a new newsletter – focused on Mansions In The Sea and myself as a person. I want to stay independent from social media platforms, because algorithms can always decide that we no longer see each other. So if you want to make sure you stay in the loop – sign up!
The newsletter will land in your inbox once a month and is very personal:
insights into songwriting, thoughts, sometimes exclusive songs or demos you won’t find anywhere else, and of course all the latest news from Mansions In The Sea.
As a thank-you for signing up, you’ll get my debut album Terra as a free download – the download will start on the landing page once you’ve entered your email address. You’ll also have the option to automatically follow me on Spotify – that helps me a lot, but it’s totally optional if you don’t use Spotify.
Alternatively, you can also download Terra for €0 via Bandcamp by entering your email address there.
The existing Winter Solitude newsletter, with updates on all my bands, will still be available – but it will remain more infrequent and focused on general news.
This new newsletter is meant as an addition for everyone who’s especially interested in Mansions In The Sea and in a more personal connection.
Here’s where to sign up:
https://hypeddit.com/mansionsinthesea/terra

Thanks for being part of it.
Your Sascha

2nd single: In The Cornflower Field

„In The Cornflower Field“, my second single from the upcoming album „Gloom Folklore“ is out. A song about a secret love. Indie folk style, melancholic and deep. I’m releasing the new single with a waterfall strategy: one single each month till summer 2026. But there will be a crowdfunding soon for those who want a CD. Enjoy the single on all streaming platforms!

1st single: Under Starlit Skies

Today is the day: My new album „Gloom Folklore“ is finally being released! The whole album? Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration. To be precise, it’s just the first part, as I’ll be releasing the album in 14 individual pieces – meaning as singles. This approach aligns with current listening habits, which are increasingly shaped by playlists, and with the algorithms of streaming platforms, which reward frequent small releases with more plays.

In practical terms, this means that a new Mansions In The Sea song will be released digitally every month. The full album won’t be available on streaming platforms until mid-2026.

Since I grew up with albums and still love this format, I want to offer a beautifully designed CD version for everyone who feels the same way – most likely in summer 2025. However, due to the trends mentioned above, it has become nearly impossible to finance CD pressings without covering the costs privately. That’s why I need your support!

Mansions In The Sea is completely a DIY project – there’s no label, no management, and no wealthy backers behind the scenes. So, there will be a crowdfunding campaign in the hope of covering the production costs. As soon as everything is set up, you’ll hear about it here.

But for now, I just hope you enjoy the first single: “Under Starlit Skies”! More about the song – and the album in general – coming in the next few days.

Come As You Are (Nirvana folk cover, live in my living room )

I recorded a folk acoustic cover of Nirvana’s “Coma As You Are” in my living room. Enjoy!

Live at my home studio Pt. 1 (4 song acoustic set)

Hey guys, I recorded some songs live in my home studio for you. Three original songs and a cover version of The Doors. It’s not perfect, but personal and pure – just me and an acoustic guitar. If you like it, feel free to comment, subscribe to my channel and check out my debut album “Terra” with more elaborate arrangements HERE
