It is very easy to get lost in the songs these 5 Germans have created. Like many instrumental bands the music acts as a emotional and introspective soundtrack where the notes are most effective when consciously forgotten . This is a dark undertaking filled with a real sense of things lost, an album of recollections, of photographs that are both comforting and sad. At all times raw and organic this albums seems to escape the urge to expand infinitely the musical canvas with the use of electronics. Instead they focus on the subtleties of melody, of harmony and dynamics.
The construction of beautiful handmade music, every note falling from the fingers and fists. These are more movements then songs. Subtle sparse arrangements slowly building into walls of lonesome distortion that swell then recede over and again. This album is a testament to raw power of electric guitars, drums and bass. To the creative depth of these instruments that is often lost in the modern music seen.
Like their name implies these songs are geared to towards the conscious state of the listener. This is an album that seems to get inside you like those cold rainy days and invoke ,at the very least, a sense of feeling something . It provides a space where, even in the middle of a densely populated city over run with the steady roar of traffic, you can be alone with your thoughts.
