With a serious touch of romantic singer-songwriter's art, met by an electronic and mellow charm, the Austrian-Icelandic duo Oehl is one of the most adventurous output German-speaking pop has to offer right now.

The current phase of self isolation is forcing us to be creative, kill some time and maybe also do something we've never done before.
