about

“Best new band of the Universe” – Michael Stock, Part Time Punks

"Highly infectious music from one of Canada’s foremost postpunk and shoegaze artists... a highly powerful aural punch. This is dark bliss in sonic form" – The Spill Magazine

“Swirls with reverberating and ascending guitar chime, a tugging bass line, a strictly hit drum beat, and longing vocals” – The Big Takeover

"Hard-hitting track" – News Break

"Captivating!" – Stereo Embers Magazine

“Darkwave chill which seems fabricated partially from wielding traditional instruments but also by somehow harnessing the wind as it blows across the front of the stark, grey buildings of old Berlin.” – Dancing About Architecture

"Hooked from the first bassline. Their doom-laden post-punk reminded us of Comsat Angels, Chameleons and Interpol” – Drowned in Sound

lyrics

er lehnte sich zurück
schaukelte
die ungeölte kette
unter ihm
er tippte sanft
auf den stoff
spielt in gedanken
sein klavier

bunte blüten und
das nikotin
die hecke und der garten
umgaben ihn
unliebsamer blick
nichts dringt hier durch
wunderphantasie
im takt voran

kein böses blut
ich fühle nichts
kein interesse
einfach gar nichts
die SED hat den betonzaun
und er hat seinen heckenschutz

durch das fenster sieht er sie
zusammenräumend bewegt sie sich
in fünf minuten ist's vorbei
dann stößt sie zu ihm
dringt hier ein

die wahre mauer ist im kopf

kein böses blut
ich fühle nichts
kein interesse
einfach gar nichts
die SED hat den betonzaun
und er hat seinen heckenschutz
