“Writing this album together was the greatest musical adventure we could ever experience. Stuck in our apartment during lockdown, we were surrounding ourselves with great icons in thought, who inspired our music and lyrics.
We have been being nostalgic about the past, as the pandemic evoked a sort of obsession about the ‘good old times’ within us. We think with a lot of people this has happened lately.
Therefore we want you to dive into the forgotten sound with us and enjoy this musical ride together praising our eternal heroes. ‘Cause remember: only death can make icons, humans just play God. “
The album will be available on CD and on Vinyl. Pre-order link will follow.
