Niño's fourth record, the EP „Departure“ includes five carefully, naturally and authentically produced tracks. For the first time Niño invited special guests to play along on this record, which adds an even more folky touch. The guest musicians are Andrea Kirchhofer (violin), Laura Ender (cello) and Jonas Guggenheim (accordion). All other instruments have been played by Niño himself, like on all his other records.
For the first time also Niño presents an instrumental tune called “one step towards green water”. This EP is an ode to freedom, the power of nature, the impotence of mankind and life itself being a playground sometimes. Ambiguously expressed in words and music, philosophically aiming for the heart.
