2012–2017

Origins

Žilina, 2012–2017. A Few Screams and Whispers recorded at Studio Kobka, Nine Ripples finished in 2014, two drum battles we ran ourselves. Adam quit in 2015.

Origins

Four of us, a rehearsal room in Žilina thirty meters from the pub, four days at Studio Kobka in Martin. We walked out with our debut LP, A Few Screams and Whispers. Nobody had asked for it. The next year we shot Nine Ripples — a music video that ended up running ten minutes, took us until 2014. We ran our own Sabian drum battles at Smerr Music Club. We put out a single called Le Japan Kizomba. Then Adam quit the band in summer 2015 and we spent two years looking for someone to replace him.

Nelson's Wire — Hidden Track

Origins · 2012–2017

Mass Perception

A small thank-you for 2013: a hidden mini-track called Nelson's Wire — recorded during A Few Screams and Whispers, originally meant as an intro to In Her Beauty. This is what happens when you mix a recording studio with alcohol and the mics stay open.

Hunting Locations for the First Video

Origins · 2012–2017

Scouted video location — beige exterior

Summer's almost here — we'll be wandering around with a camera, looking for the right space, hoping to drop our first video by autumn. Attached: design feat of the century — exterior of the first scouted location. Beige building, hard-to-describe smell (something like unventilated mould and faded glory).
