  • 10" Limited Edition // Kupferstich prints - vinyl only
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    These intimate, unchanged one take recordings were created in 2015 and belong to the earliest beginnings of our music. For three days, the rain whipped and poured on the roof and on the windows. Unique recordings were made in this storm... Each of the six different copper engravings were made by us, and individually hand-printed by us. Vinyl only (red marbled), limited to 100 copies.

    You find the six motifs here: www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17935753624425995/
    (be aware that every print looks different)


    "We were in the countryside. In rained for three days straight. The rain lashed and cracked in the rooftop and on the window panes. We were getting to know each other. I got my guitar out, and sunk into the sounds coming out of my amplifier, testing the different distortions. While doing this, you sang for the first time in front of me. We sat on the sofa, and sometimes laid on the floor. You got a fever. You're usually never sick. We did not leave the house. Three days long, we jammed. Outside, the thunder and lightning kept going.

    ---

    Wir waren auf dem Land. Drei Tage hat es durchgeregnet. Der Regen peitscht und prasselt aufs Dach und an die Scheiben. Wir lernen uns kennen. Ich packe meine Gitarre aus und versinke im Klang meines kleinen Verstärkers, ich teste die verschiedenen Verzerrungen. Alles vor dir. Du singst zum ersten Mal vor mir. Wir sitzen auf dem Sofa, mal liegen wir auf dem Boden. Du bekommst Fieber. Du wirst sonst nie krank. Wir verlassen das Haus nicht. Wir jammen drei Tage lang durch. Es donnerst und blitzt."

about

AFAR Berlin, Germany

"Consisting of a collaboration between two musicians, AFAR seeks to bridge the distance between the natural and the industrial, exploring the paradox between organic and electronic. In some spaces, AFAR might build dance-oriented rhythms layered with haunting vocals. Whereas in others, the band creates moments of ambience composed of multi-instrumental soundscapes."
