This is our first album together and it sounds quite different from most of my other music. We sampled almost entirely a 1980s mystery documentary TV series with Leonard Nimoy. The supernatural search of the past seemed like an antidote to the horrific terrors of anti-imaginative technocracy and constant information overload. At the same time, esotericism, aliens and recurring ancient myths are obviously a very present phenomenon, something like a perverted counter-stream to the hard and cold facts of modernity. So we don't use these beliefs and conspiracies in an ironic nor in an affirmative way. Instead we tried to link these out-of-time sentiments to fundamental questions which modern society and its culture try to avoid. About life, decay and eternal youth, about dreams and ghosts, about searching meaning and truth, becoming powerful, being stuck. Musically, it was crucial to say: We start with hauntology but we want to move beyond it. Its so confined to repetitions, loops, endless drones etc. Every piece of our album has a different dramaturgy, things can be unforeseen and miraculous (hopefully). We want to smash that depressive-melancholic predictability. It has such an overwhelming basis in our lives, so we have to go through it in order to really break with it.
