Exile on main

Berlin artist Jennifer Touch returns with her second album, Midnight Proposals. Touch was reading Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath when she started to work on the album. "The whole settlers movement touched me, and I really felt like a cowboy whilst writing and recording these songs," she explains. It reminded her of her great-grandparent's story, and the house they built in the 30s that was her sanctuary as a child." As cosy as it was, I always yearned for somewhere else, to find myself and my own place to settle." Full of hope and mystery, Midnight Proposals is a selection of songs that both celebrate and question the romance of this illusion, documenting a very human desire to search for our people and our safe place. Unlike biographical debut album, Behind the Wall, which took years to pen, Midnight Proposals was written in an explosion of energy and creativity and completed in just 4 months. For a reinvigorated Touch, it marks the next stop of a journey both artistically and sonically. "These are my dark proposals to the world," she proclaims. "So come and join me around the fire!"
