Oh Mec 04:28
Bot oh Bot - am I bothering you? Tell the story again! The one with passion, claws and chess. Say that it is mine, the magic forest. The castle, the tragic turn and the throne of enlightenment in the end. No one’s dreaming. The nights are there for resting. Only the best flying machine orbits the sun And then you had to leave. The circuit with programmed empathy. This is my closest Friend. There’s no need for truth here. What is your friend studying so successfully, again? There is no problem at all. And it has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with your kindness, your person, the big stone inside you or everything lovely about you. It has everything to do with my lightness of ignoring, that I broke in two pieces over the last few years. I wait in the sunshine. As long as I can come to you. Amidst your sentences, I could never doubt. I love my friend. I love my friend. I love my friend. You bothering me. On my break.

Battery. Battery. Too high. Too risky. Come down there. Come to your senses. The miracle of hearing. Oh, you could understand me, all these times? I was busy flying. Why don't you come back later. Not today. Look, the clouds swallowing the sun. There you are Peter. We give up. You can stay a boy. That was probably what I wanted. I breathe in, like walking down a shaft on an escalator. I can't feel the ground on feet. I don't want to be anything. I want a hug. Look who decided to grace us with his presence. No longer afraid of the world, pal? Wear your best idol smile. Sit down, be our guest. What lays beyond the sun? The ears will sort it out. Take your stilts and step away. Hard to find. No more demand. Still, you cannot escape higher. As the wind rises, nothing is important anymore. Horikoshi you are not a role model. Sun says it is time. Moon says it's time. I say it is time. So I will go far away. Don't forget your rain cape. A soft ending.

I'm not trying to compensate for anything here. No. I will not do this. Don't interfere with me. I've got my own mind. Nobody should come in. Everyone out of here! This is not at all about me.

about

„3 years after recording and just before the new year begins, we bring you back into the late summer of 2020. Our friend Lucca asked us to put together a quick live session to record at Oetinger Villa, Darmstadt as a in-between-kind-of-project to kill time during the covid lockdowns and postponed shows. What we ended up doing is come up with completely new songs, we never played live, never quiet thought through and went ahead and did a full on production instead of the live session we started out with. Result of it all are 1 song, 1 interlude and another song with two different endings (why not, actually?).

The same way we did ourselves, these songs changed for us during the last 3 years. The themes of running away from the uncomfortable and that raincapes are just a there to avoid an immediate problem, are now more clear than when we wrote it in the first place back in 2020.
Oh boy!

This release comes in digital form only... kind of.
We worked together with Bruno, who illustrated the cover art for this EP and we made two poster designs you can get via the Konglomerat Kollektiv shop. Riso prints in beige and large A1 prints in Blue. We are very happy how everything turned out and we hope you'll like it too.

Thanks to Adam Lenox Jr. for mixing, Alex Beer for mastering, Bruno Murakami Arnao for the Design and Konglomerat Kollektiv for releasing. Especially thanks to Lucca Riitano for recording with us and taking the time. You made this summer a bit less scary!

Take this little EP as an offer and trust us if we tell you that 2024 is an Album coming we've been working on for the better part of the last 2 years.
We try our best!

Take care, please.
paul, jan & steffen“
