Notes:
After touring two years with previous album ‘Sky On Fire’, the band decided to settle down for a while. They build their own rehearsal space and studio and started writing together for a new album. With producer Erik on board, they could finetune tracks even before recording and with their own rehearsal space and studio, they had time on their hands to experiment. Which resulted in layered sounds, more subtle arrangements and better constructed songs, since there were no hits requiring the mto rush releasae another album. Guest vocals on ‘So Near You’ are done by Johan ter Schegget, former vocalist of ‘Suburbs’, in which Erik played guitar for a while.
With the writing flow still going on, they released the album, which contains an oddity: the tracklist starts with number 0 instead of 1, which means slight confusion, when skipping for the wished for song.
