They're underground, sometimes. They rehearse in a basement, make quite weird music (with glorious melodies, one must admit) and named their new, second album very appropriately 'With The Earth Above Me'.



The cover of this album is a Gesamtkunstwerk of 11,000 cans spread out on a square, all by the boys themselves and with a little help from photographer Reyer Boxem. This has all been printed on a beautiful digipack including a poster for the details.



Enough about form, let's focus on the content. This album is a collection of songs about being an observer of your own environment. Being a part of what you criticize. As outsiders, from The Nothern Part of the Netherlands, from where they do what they like best and do best; making music.



'With The Earth Above Me' is no straightforward pop-record, so give the songs a few turns, and you will have to admit they deserve it. Probably it will even enrich your life as much as it did theirs during the making of this album.
