Herman: That’s the exact same bullshit I got. There’s so many different things you can influence, and that kind of ties in with our album cover, which is obviously some kind of desolate wasteland, but with a kind of portal, which for us was kind of like reaching into the portal of music, blah blah blah. Also at the same time I think, speaking about music and the number of things you can do with music, all the emotions you can create, that’s also infinite.
It’s a method of escapism for a lot of people, to put something on, and get away from your real life and stuff. Marc: Okay, so the album is called Reaching Into Infinity because music is something that is timeless, infinite, people always go back to it. Herman: Then I can do the real version! Try yours first! Marc : I can do the bullshit version if you like ! I just came from Germany, people went there to see me perform at the Musikmesse, an exhibition of musicians, and there were fans during the signing sessions who didn’t know we had a new album coming out or a new song even, and these are big fans! So you kind of just have the make a bit of noise on social media and make people talk about it, it’s kind of sad but that’s just the way it works these days. And the city thing was also kind of funny, some people thought we were gonna talk about religion because there was a church in one of the pictures. The album art posted on Instagram was made into nine pieces, I wanted double that, but we decided to do nine so it fits better with Instagram’s layout. But also, if you deliver it all at once, a lot of people miss it.
Herman: It’s kind of a sad thing these days, I have to admit, because the world is impatient and people want all information delivered on whatever social media platform. What’s the reason behind all the secrecy? The album cover was revealed piece by piece on Instagram, and instead of posting tour dates you posted pictures of locations from cities that you’ll play this October. You’ve been very cryptic in the way you’ve been promoting this album. Hello, my name is Toby and this is Prislla, and we’re from.
