Join us on a journey through space and time with the debut album of Jeremiah Soft, now returning to Dalmata Daniel. He made the album between November 2021 and June 2022, a time during which he got closer to nature, long walks, and existing in forests in general. Through 9 tracks and 60 minutes, we can wander around atmospheric universes, walk up the hills and down the paths of the mind of the artist.

Throughout the whole album, a dichotomy is created by the soft, acoustic sounding melodies and the quick, abruptly changing, metallic drum patterns. Just like the wilderness, it becomes a balanced system of tranquil harmony and tense alertness.
Side B rushes into an 11 minute heavy-hitter, ‘PNW’, packed with action and amen break.

‘AM 01:09:69 JUN-05-1970’ is a label which builds on an anecdote of a dream world. Leaving a seemingly meaningless and numbing reality behind X enters a place where every feeling, thought and act takes on an existential meaning. 

The project tells his story by providing fragments of this world from the main characters perspective. These fragments can be pieces of music, visual art or short passages in text form but can also occur in the form of live events.  

This time the storytelling goes on with the narration of Destroy, a russian artist straight away from Saint Ghettosburg.
