Autaar en VierNulVier ontdekken de tape-recorder

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier discover the tape recorder

The opening of the album reflects the spirit of the recording session. It was made while VierNulVier wasn’t aware that the recording had started and was playing around on a guitar. Autaar was handling the tape machine and made this wonderful little live tape loop.

Autaar en VierNulVier en de grote boze synthesizer

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier and the big bad synthesizer

Pictured: Autaar and his big bad synthesiser. It might not look big, but it’s the way you use it that counts.

Autaar en VierNulVier gaan op excursie naar het massagraf

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier take a trip to the mass grave

After a recording session we were exploring the surroundings and stumbled upon a dolmen. It’s interesting how we look upon dolmen as a picturesque thing to visit when it is just a (mass) grave from earlier times. This particular dolmen was littered with trash showcasing how we, as a society, we deal with monuments and death.

Autaar en VierNulVier doen ook aan spiritualiteit enzo

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier also practice spirituality and all that

Pictured: This was the most spiritual thing we found in our surroundings, so we made a song about it.

Autaar en VierNulVier hebben ook wel eens van drone gehoord

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier have also heard of this drone thingy

This track starts out with a guitar intro that harkens its influences back to Sonic Youth and is accompanied with a very scary synthesiser. It feels like you’re trapped in a bubble that will never burst.

Autaar en VierNulVier hebben toch schijt aan spiritualiteit

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier actually don’t give a shit about spirituality

We found out mass religion wasn’t for us so we made an acoustic drone song.

Autaar en VierNulVier zijn gezakt voor Engels, echt ruk jongen

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier failed English class, bummer

The magic of found recordings and a tape deck. Nothing beats that combination. Also, a ring modulator — don’t forget that.

Autaar en VierNulVier breien er een einde aan

Translation: Autaar and VierNulVier put an end to it

This was the last track we recorded and it feels like we went all out on this one. It’s chaotic and structured, noisy and ethereal, dark and light put together. We enjoyed making it and hopefully you will enjoy listening to it!
