Over time, we have all learned to wear different masks or faces to protect our innermost selves. Until that one special person enters our lives to whom we want to reveal ourselves completely. The one who sees through our charade, holds the mirror up to us. Then, we slowly strip away layer after layer. This process can be both overwhelming and liberating. Evidently Exposed, is about the interplay of those conflicting emotions and ends in the acceptance of being honest and vulnerable and sharing personal worries, desires and fears with the other person.

Kingdom of What? was created in a time, when the Swiss people were about to vote on whether Switzerland, should continue to be an active part of the global weapon market as an exporter and manufacturer.

Immunity means complicity, was very clear to both of us at that time and also (especially) today.

So we wrote a song that satirically deconstructs the fairy-tale castle Switzerland.

Kingdom Of What?

wrote this one today. really honest. hope u like.

lyrics:
given the circumstances
i won't ask you to stay
given the circumstances
i would get it if you walked away

but all my life i've been looking for this
it seems fitting that
things go to hell now that i've found it

i don't think we're wasting time
but if you do i'm sorry
i can see a life with you
but if you can't i'm sorry
if 4 months means nothing
if none of it counts for something
then i'm sorry
if spending every night in your bed
has no meaning, then
what are we?
just a sorry excuse for love

lately the world is ending
so i won't ask for too much
lately the world is ending
and i find that i pretend to be okay with too much

but all my life i've been looking for this
real funny that
things go to hell now that i've found it

i don't think we're wasting time
but if you do i'm sorry
i can see a life with you
but if you can't i'm sorry
if 4 months means nothing
if none of it counts for something
then i'm sorry
if spending every night in your bed
has no meaning, then
what are we?
just a sorry excuse for love

...what are we? (voice memo)

hybrid-pop / Bern - CH

annina mossoni (vox, synth, g)
jaronas hoehener (trpt, synth, electr.) 
jan dintheer (g, b, synth)
flo hufschmid (drums)

when asked to describe their music, the band chose:trip-hop-inspired, jazz-infused, synthesizer-backed, hybrid-pop -  and all these concepts are perceptible and audible when immersing into the alpha-sound.

their delicate mix of poetic and intimate storytelling -paired with edgy, electronic sounds and beats, creates a unique cosmos, to be experienced live and on previous (Times of Doubt 2022) and upcoming (The Glasshouse 2024) releases.
