2014-RELEASES
Formed in 2010 in Berlin (Germany), the band spent several years performing and recording rough demos and live sets before heading into the studio to make their first full length release, recorded by Felix-Florian Todloff and mastered by Brian Pyle.
The record opens with "Lucky 15", a long track with repetitive ambiant tones & synth drones. With the song "naval reserve" and then "kensingston C.A" (instrumental) the duo set their drone guitars and synths into a darker atmosphere with more abrasive sounds and percussion. Epitaphium, the final track, sounds like a peaceful haunting song, ending with a field recording of a muezzin from the band’s short tour of Turkey in Istanbul amidst various sounds from the city.
