How, do you think, does a blessed child feel while scattering his toys all over the floor. You‘ll know. After you‘ve listened to our new record.
Besides, you‘ll listen to it again and again. Tinkling beats with an almost anthem-like approach. The »Kickboard Girl« melody can hardly breathe. Beats like a fountain. Then, the lung of a synthesizer whispers of a magic carpet and hovering meadows full of flowers. Slowly, the air stops rattling. »Kickboard Girl - Take Care On The Corner« covers the peaceful silence with buds. However, it doesn‘t take long until »May In Fall« triggers the euphoric pulse of an old, long forgotten breakbeat extravaganza you thought you‘d never feel again. A new melody takes your soul as a prisoner.
By now, putting on the flipside of the record already means something special to you.
»My Friend Sam« zooms in from noisy spaces, far away. From now on, melody is spelled »Collapse Of Emotions«. »Sitting Next To You« starts with a sloppily slamming electro pattering. Another emotional collapse kicks in. Out of a rhythmically clonking ambience, an army of disarming harmonies (made in heaven) crawls through your body. »Sitting Next To You – Closer« is basically something completely impossible. Even closer? No way! – Then, everything is calm. The equipment is blossoming like the inside of blessed children, eating their favorite cakes in the sun. They‘ve just freed their toys from the drawer.
