Did you know that you are an acoustic dampening device? That frequencies come to rest in your puffy jacket, frizzy hair, soft skin?

Too Late to End

You Wildflower

Amina Hocine→ Sentimetal digest 03-06-2025

Mørk duo med bittersøte overtoner.
Noise. Punk. Impro.
Uten respekt for sjangerbetegnelser, men med respekt for sine referanser.
Nakent. Rått. Psykedelisk.
Noen ganger sammen, andre ganger helt ifra hverandre, men alltid på.

A dark duo with bittersweet overtones.

Ivar M. Asheim - Trommer
Sander E. Nordahl - Gitar
