This EP contains four tracks that have arisen in both a distant past and in recent history. 'We Measure The Distance With Time' is a statement by a very enthusiastic star and celestial fanatic who, somewhere in the Chilean desert, tried to explain to me how intense the universe is. This tracks form for me the soundtrack that suits the distance in time between me and the speed of our society…

Koblenz is Peter a Beeker and Woods on Fire collaboration. This band makes noisy indie rock and immediately sets high. Bouncing like Dinosaur Jr., then thoughtful and fluid as dEUS in their better years. Guitar eruptions, cross arrangements and dark electronics fight for priority. Hi-fi with a lo-fi attitude. Songs as big as life itself. About existential discomfort, departure and return, fall and triumph.

Much like Radiohead and The Notwist, Woods on Fire like to studiously incorporate both acoustic and electronic sounds into something unorthodox. These Utrecht-based art rockers, however, employ an entirely different dynamic. Instead of compressing subtle artifice and stirring prog rock passages into a dense fluidity, Woods on Fire’s songs expand like majestic sonic landfills. The LP was recorded at Einstürzende Neubauten’s legendary Berlin-based Andere Baustelle Studio.
