- Sugar on the bed 2:45
Press Release
Crafted by De Wolt’s retro synth post-punk sound, the album tells a story that can be described as a semi-fictional autobiography. The journey starts with You and High’ (De Wolt – You and High (Official Music Video), a song that describes a toxic relationship between two lovers with all its highs and lows.
In the background, we can feel Berlin’s gloomy and sometimes dark club scene painting the atmosphere. From that starting point, the hero goes through all the stages of a break up which makes him face his own inner demons and eventually getting back to freedom and redemption from the darkness, and back into the light.
Danny says: “The concept albums from the 70’s always inspired me. They were not simply a collection of songs with no relation to each other, but a musical journey telling a story with all the elements that a story needs: a scenario, in the shape of its musical atmosphere; different characters and sometimes even a well developed visual concept around the album. Creating this album is my humble attempt to do this kind of an art piece.”
João says: “For me, this album is a continuation of the journey that I started with De Wolt on ‘Our Love Is Gone EP’. When I joined the band, Danny told me all the ideas for the concept album and how somehow all the songs that he had written were trying to tell a bigger story. As a lover of concept albums and meaningful art pieces, this was another big push to fall in love with the project and the idea. Somehow, in my mind, I feel related to this story and I’m able to twist the songs around and tell many stories, all of them make sense (at least in my head) and are different. I feel that most of us can somehow find a personal relationship in what we narrate and relate to one of these stories. I love when music can touch us personally and have a meaning for us even when we are not the ones writing it. Many times this happens to me as a listener. This time I have a huge pleasure of also helping to tell it by playing some instruments and borrowing my voice or with the arrangements and the production of Danny’s idea.”
