Fables
With Fables, we wanted to create something both intimate and expansive – music that feels like a story unfolding, full of mood, texture, and a sense of mystery. This album, our fourth, marked a special moment for us as we joined Edition Records and took our sound in a deeper, more narrative direction. The compositions on Fables are woven together like chapters in a larger tale. Tracks like Randall’s Island and Mammatus balance between meditative lyricism and driving rhythms, where melodies rise and fall like waves, only to give way to moments of hypnotic groove. The interplay between the delicate metallic percussion, dreamlike keys, and the saxophones carries a sense of ebb and flow throughout the album. There’s also an edge to Fables – an emotional rawness and shamanistic energy that comes through in pieces like Aleki, with its industrial rhythms and sci-fi soundscapes, or the title track, where serene melodies shift into howling intensity. This is perhaps our most cohesive record yet, with a suite-like continuity threading through all nine tracks. At just under 40 minutes, it’s a case of less being more, where every note has purpose and space. Fables is a sonic journey, one that reflects the emotional landscapes we sought to capture and share. It’s music to lose yourself in, to reflect, and to imagine. We hope it resonates with you as much as it does with us.
