Zeitgeist August

Lyrics

we're the ones with the hearts // sie sind weit weg von uns
we climbed up the moon // sie sind weit weg von uns

it's the way we go // coming from up high // and going down below
brush aside we don't need to know // if it works for me // it'll work for you
get caught and i slip through // 'cause i make the rules

get my head right // get them guns fired // we've been growing with it makes us feel we're doing right
get your head right // let them boys try // they've been growing still their gambling like some weirdo guys

we soaked up the sea // sie sind weit weg von uns
we are close to heaven // sie sind weit weg von uns

From Nowhere EP

Compliment Your Soul

Electronic indie pop with a love of detail. The band WHEN PEOPLE HAD COMPUTERS makes music for both dancing and listening to. The first seven track EP - "Odds & Ends" was released in spring 2013 on their own label LUXUSSCHEIBEN.

WHEN PEOPLE HAD COMPUTERS was founded in Cologne, early 2012. The four-piece band is a fusion of the indie rock duo ALBERT LUXUS (Albert L and Andreas Kiwitt), bassist Dennis Enyan and beat wizard Christoph Német. The Cologne quartet has proved their live-capabilities among others, at the C/O POP festival.

The songs begin for the most part on the computer. The fundamental basis consists of samples and synthesizer sounds which is supplemented by the sound of "real" instruments, electronic and organic in symbiosis. Beats obtain their refinement, for example, by the sampling of steps. Rehearsed bass runs and guitar sounds are readily digitally cut and rearranged. Dust between the contacts of an electrical home organ is not wiped away, but celebrated.

Headphones on, there is lots to discover!

Detailverliebter, elektronischer IndiePop. Die Band WHEN PEOPLE HAD COMPUTERS macht Musik zum Bewegen und Stillsitzen. Mit „Odds & Ends“ erschien im Frühjahr 2013 auf dem selbst gegründeten Label LUXUSSCHEIBEN die erste, sieben Song starke EP.

WHEN PEOPLE HAD COMPUTERS wurde Anfang 2012 in Köln gegründet. Die vierköpfige Band ist ein Zusammenschluss aus dem Indierock-Duo ALBERT LUXUS (Albert L und Andreas Kiwitt), dem Bassisten Dennis Enyan und dem Beatbastler Christoph Német.
Seine Live-Tauglichkeit hat das Kölner Quartett unter anderem beim C/O POP Festival unter Beweis gestellt.

Die Songs beginnen zumeist am Computer. Das Fundament aus Samples und Synthesizersounds wird um den Klang „echter“ Instrumente ergänzt - Elektronisches und Organisches in Symbiose. Beats erhalten ihre Verfeinerung zum Beispiel durch das Sampling von Schritten. Eingespielte Bassläufe und Gitarrensounds werden gerne mal digital zerschnitten und neu arrangiert. Staub zwischen den Kontakten einer elektrischen Heimorgel wird nicht weggewischt, sondern zelebriert. 

Kopfhörer auf, es gibt viel zu entdecken!
