Streulicht by Streulicht

For our debut EP we selected tracks from our repertoire that speak to our diverse musical passions. Upbeat pop and rock songs ("Spilled", "Stereotypes"), prog-infused extended instrumental jams ("Seashores", "Choices of Masses"), jangle (alt)rock ("Feelings Collide") and melancholy jazz-rock ("Piece by Piece").

Our music is about finding one's place in a world marked by commodification of even our most personal thoughts, feelings and memories. Music for all of us can be many things, and all of them at once: a lament for free will and social cohesion, a manifest for resistance and a refusal to conform. A thing of beauty … consolation. An ode to joy , empathy and solidarity. We believe that music can help bridge the gap that widens between us as we descend into a post-truth "hypernormality".

All tracks were recorded live over two days, with the band in a room and only minimal overdubs – mostly vocals and the occasional keyboard and guitar flourishes added. We recorded at Janka Industries (www.janka.industries) in Vienna to achieve an organic, band-in -a-room sound.

The EP was engineered and mixed to tape by the phenomenal Chris Janka (of BLUEBLUT – check out https://blueblut.bandcamp.com) using his beloved vintage radio broadcast console, ancient reference mikes and a plethora of DIY amps, speakers and magical boxes.

We hope some of that magic translated itself into our tracks. Enjoy.
