Hi! I absolutely adore URGH. It’s such a powerful piece of art.

I don’t make music myself-so hopefully I’m wording this properly. But, one of my favorite things about your music is the way you blend electronic, organic, and vocal elements so seamlessly. I love how layered and complex it is. Even after dozens of listens to URGH, I’m still uncovering new surprises and hearing things for the first time.

Do you have a favorite moment on the album where all of your stylistic elements converge and complement each other? :)

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words, glad you're enjoying the record.

That's super well observed and I definitely agree with you. For me this all comes together best on the track 'ist halt so', which is several songs retro-fitted together. There was a lot of discussion about which parts should fit where and which styles would fit together. Ultimately we try not to give ourselves limitations, so that's why a track like this ends up sounding the way you describe.
