Music technology is so powerful, so capable of doing so much so quickly, it can be overwhelming. When we first started composing the material for this EP I found myself getting bogged down in minutiae - a lot. I'm a techno-phile and German which means I can obsess about processes endlessly.

Was es ist, das mich beim ersten Hören der Songs so froh stimmt, kann ich auch noch nicht so genau sagen.
