“Music you don't simply hear — you disappear into it.”
Analogue synthesisers, piano, a drum machine and the unmistakable voice of Christian Purwien. Haunting, fragile and quietly beautiful.

Discography & Singles
Am ersten Tag
Two musicians who were never heroes, yet have been around since the 1980s: Christian Purwien, singer of SECOND DECAY, and Thomas Kowa, thriller writer and the man behind the synthesizers. Together, they have released five albums as PURWIEN & KOWA and host the most successful German-language podcast about 80s music. And now they are starting over. Darker. More melancholic. Fittingly, the first single is neither radio- nor Spotify-friendly – and that is precisely the point.
Zwischen den Lichtern
Their debut album feels like a solitary winter's day: haunting, fragile and quietly beautiful. Eleven tracks sung in both German and English, drifting somewhere between life and death.
