Bad Afro Records Anniversary
November the 5th we'll celebrate Bad Afro Records 20 years anniversary!
We are proud to be on the Bad Afro roster. It is not often that a small independent Scandinavian record label can manage to stay alive for such a long time, especially not when staying true to it's values. Lars, the founder of Bad Afro, does exactly that!
We'll play at Loppen (with Baby Woodrose and Narcosatanicos) at 22:00!

Your Finger Stirs The liquid Moon
Here's the new video for "Your Fingers Stir The Liquid Moon", the closing track of the a-side of "Magical Solutions To Everyday Struggles".
This is propably one of our most minimal tracks so far...
Sean wrote the lyrics for the song during a long summernight last year. One of the very few nights we didn't spend in the bunker recording. When we woke a few days later, I read the lyrics and went for it! Starting out with an old drummachine, some slow sweeping synths and acoustic guitar, we wrote and recorded most of the track, along with the vocals, that same night. Kåre Joensen later added some addtional synths, to fatten up the sound a bit.
For our German friends and others alike, here's a Vimeo link:

Magical Solutions To Everyday Struggles is here!
"Magical Solutions To Everyday Struggles" is out on Bad Afro Records now!
This time we have tried to push things even further!
It's clearly a TSD Album! But it's our hardest sounding release so far and thematically
it's probably our darkest record aswell.
We isolated ourselves in our rehersal space, an old WWII air raid shelter, for 4 intense months during the summer of 2015, where we wrote and recorded most parts of the album.
A lot of experimenting went down for this record, and besides our usual instrumentation we made heavy use of alternative soundsources such as harddiscs, heavy manipulated percussion, bowed cymbals and sampled loops.
As usual we also got some help from some friends. The Hobbit (ex-On trial/Anders) plays his guitar on a lot of the tracks, Christian Norup (Bite The Bullet) plays bas on 4 tracks, Kåre Joensen (Robot) plays the bas on one track and supplied some extra synth for "Your Finger Stirs The Liquid Moon", and Lærke Bang wrote the first part of the lyrics for Dark Kashmir.
The record was mixed by Dr. Hansen and TSD at Black Tornado Studios and mastered by Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studios.
Give it a couple of spins and let it grow!
The album is available on 12" black vinyl (with a CD of the entire album included!) and as digital download.
