2022/12/18 LinksRechts (EP)
We have released five brand-new songs on EP "LinksRechts". It is available on the usual Streaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, etc. Click here to choose your favorite platform.
The title "LeftRight" with its implied clear polarity is a small provocation. The lyrics challenge that black-and-white view in favour of a more nuanced approach and play with gothic-like romantisicm.
2020/07/14 Licht (EP)
We have used those awkward last months to arrange and record some four songs. Two of them originate from the sessions in France, the other two are more recent. Enjoy listening to them on your favourite Streaming service. "Licht" is german like all our lyrics and translates into "Light"

2012/03/12: Vorbei - The soundtrack to complement the crisis
Conceived in 2009 when many of today's headlines could be already anticipated. This song had already slipped our minds when our friends from Elchlos Film rediscovered it and went to work. We haven't contributed to the video but the music and were astonished how well the menacing mood we experienced when writing the song is reflected in the visualization. Experience for yourself in the MEDIA section.
