about

Hej!

We are a duo hailing all the way from Berlin, Germany.
Our debut EP, ... more "Siren Songs" was recorded during the rainy summer of 2011 in Flo´s bedroom under the influence of cheap ice pops while spending most of the time playing ´International Superstar Soccer´ on an old Super Nintendo.
We tried our best to make these bedroom/laptop pop songs sound as big as humanly possible.

Tack,

Track Name: house of cards
it´s not your fault, berlin
they´re gonna raise us in the alley
the air is soft and thin with no relief

but if you find me here, i will be drunk out in the hallway
with all my selfish fears
and no relief

you are a house of cards
and when you blink you´ll be forgotten
a pattern of the art, no questions asked

a call for arms in times
where i unlearnt to be so certain
long for my place at night,
what´s done is done so close the curtain

and the city is like a lion
so take me anywhere but here
i wear you like a mask at night
to pretend to have you near
lock all your doors and wait for the storm
inhale the smoke all covered in snow
and my love is like a liar my when i found you all alone

you wear a graceless crown, but when you shine I am relieved
cause spring is close, the sky is near and hell i´ve made my peace
with every stranger in the subway and the gloomy neon lights
i´ll embrace you when I´m black-eyed before the dawn pulls out the night
