What are your top five albums that were released in 2025? (In order 1-5)
We have not paid much attention to this year releases, but we recommend Ritual Howl’s Ruin album and House of Harm’s latest singles, like "Carousel."
What band did you discover in 2025 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
We discovered an old band we had never paid attention to before, called And Also The Trees. Big fan now! Fully recommended. Produced by Lol Tolhurst from The Cure.
How will you remember 2025 (in terms of music)?
Great memories for us! This year we focused a lot on finishing the new album and recording new videos that will be released in the coming weeks, progressively. And we also played great shows! Like sharing stage with She Past Away and Actors.
What can we look forward to from you in 2026?
The official release of our new album Gemini is planned for February. Also, we’re looking forward to play both in the US and potentially in Europe later this year. We’re also creating new songs already!
What records are you looking forward to most in 2026?
In full honesty, I have nothing on my radar so far!
Singles rule the music scene right now. How has that affected you as a band or label? Has it influenced your approach to new releases or touring?
As of now, we have only released a couple singles in the past. We have focused more on releasing EPs. Also, we have explored remixes, thanks to, for example, Bari Bari from Mephisto Walz who remixed a couple of our early songs.
