RECIPES arrived!
APRIL 2014
After a long time of recording, mixing and mastering, our new album RECIPES is finally complete.
The CD arrived last week accompanied by an outstanding artwork created by the Dusseldorf based artist Michael Koch. Thank you very much, Mick! It’s brilliant.
For helping with loads of knowledge and professional skills concerning typography alignment and cryptical printing specifications, we would also like to thank Daniel Bolay of Maniana Design and Marek Bruns for getting this baby ready to be printed.
Our RECIPES are going to be released on the 16th of May 2014 via Bandcamp and other physical and digital retailers.
Stay tuned for the first single Cuckoo Cookie and a brand new video as well!
One Sunny Day
MARCH 2014
Our new studio album “Recipes” will be released through One Sunny Day Recordings.
The label gives home to quality music since 2010. Its roster includes bands as Early Autumn Break, Hill Myna or the Riviera Brothers.
We’re very happy to be part of this lovely family!
Dear All You Out There,
MARCH 2014
we hope you are well and things are fine?
It has been quiet here for the past weeks. We recently heard about Facebook and got lost in feeding this hungry beast. Time to get back to our own website to give you a little update about the current state of play.
We finished working on our new studio album. Woohoo! It is composed of 10 tracks and its name will be “Recipes”. Due to too much kitchen work – like collecting all the ingredients, rattling pots and pans and mixing it in a satisfying way – we were a bit lost in all the ups and downs that we came across during the process. But we finally made it!
A physical medium will be released first – means a CD. We are working on the digital release as well, which we’ll keep you updated about.
Our album “Recipes” will be released in April 2014, accompanied by two concerts in Bonn (04.04.14 – Kult41) and Duesseldorf (05.04.14 – HPZ-Stiftung). If you are around, we will be very happy to meet you there!
All the best for you and stay tuned!

Downstairs at Kult 41
DECEMBER 2012
Recently we recorded Downstairs – another new song for our upcoming album, which requires a rough and sturdy sound. To achieve that we temporarily moved into a club in Bonn – the Kult 41 – where we also played a concert earlier this year. An awesome place with boomy acoustics, excellently brewed coffee and most friendly folks. Like being home in a way.
The recording session has also been filmed. Check back soon for the upcoming video clip.
Thank you Eva of Kult 41 for providing that perfectly matching location. Thank you Stefan and Maurice for running back and forth and around us with cameras and tripods. And thank you Susan for taking photos of the day downstairs.
See you soon!
Back at Maarwegstudio 2
AUGUST 2012
… or back to the seventies…
In 2011 we had the pleasure to record an acoustic version of ‘Watch You Sleep’ at Maarwegstudio2 in Cologne. Now we returned to this inspiring venue to work on new songs for our next album. Wooden floors, cork covered walls, cozy couches next to the grand piano and Cologne’s finest coffee flowing like streams of milk and honey…
