about

So, if you like our hymns you might want to listen to these home recordings for a bit on a rainy thursday morning after having called in sick or lonely or afraid or lazy or missing.

Most of these songs are single-mic recordings written and played on our boat in Utrecht, NL. Some eventually made it to the Hymns record, some did not. The world we live in.

Now imagine living by yourself on a boat somewhere on the outer fringes of the Eurasian landmass. Imagine these three guys dropping by every once in a while to play rock music with you.
Imagine having oceans of time.
Imagine using that time to write melodies and lyrics.
Imagine being inspired by things like mysticism, the flow of water in your frontyard, sudden outbursts of violence, heaven, masses of sexless bodies, new religion, pain, and a sense of undying happiness.

Thank you.
Now get yourself a hot cup of whatever, turn up the volume, and press play.

-Bram Colijn
