about

After recording the first record ('Day In The Life') in a studio, we wanted to record the next one in our rehearsal space. So we decided to do a home recording with all the lo-fi gear we had at this time. The sessions were also joined by a couple of other musicians, not part of the original line up, but part of the project itself. While the first one was instrumental only, this record is more vocal-oriented and features different and unfamiliar instruments that let us experiment with specific sounds to add a more wide-ranged sound to our catalogue.

This six-song piece of music feels more like a experiment rather than a full-length record, because we never really recorded on our own before.
