Erol, Richard your songs are fantastic, I wish to see you playing, it is fascinating. it is so estetiscist and parnassian your music... it is just amazing. I am not really good expressing my feelings in words but I enjoy a lot your music
Amazing music and visuals from their newest album The Soft Bounce. Truly a talented bunch. One of the year's best IMO. Check out their remixes for other artists as well.
This love story is set with a very 3rd person perspective, which gives us a sense of the mystery and helplessness that are so uncomfortably ever-present in dreams and destiny. Time, Death, Love, and Mystery are all present themes here, which force us to think critically and deeply. The man introduced in the beginning walks into a house, where a girl watches him enter. She keeps a skepticism alive as she keeps her distance, watching him from behind closed doors. Terra cards are introduced, which provokes a certain magical curiosity. The cards set the stage, where a masked man is happy to hand his labyrinth card to the protagonist. The song playing in Act 2 leaves me thinking of this girl as Emily. The labyrinth card is Emily. This masked man must therefore now be Emily’s ex-lover. I will also now refer to the protagonist as Jason in memory of the power rangers. She finds a key in a box within a box within a box in the attic of her house, where she begins frantically trying to find out what is behind all the doors. The house is Emily’s mind. She finds mirrors displaying faint images of Jason which fade away leaving only herself to discover…a very difficult and uncomfortable task for most. Act 3 seems to be simply an observation on the bizarreness of life in general, and how weird and mind-boggling pretty much everything about everything is. Act 4 is perhaps the climax of this short film. The crowman acquires a key and begins a journey through the house where he comes to a door he cannot unlock. Even after banging on the door, the crowgirl on the other side does not open the door. Jason is now in a wheelchair with a megaphone being wheeled around by a man in a white mask. As much as he shouts, Emily cannot hear him (or chooses not to), and neither can (or do) the two masked men, even with hearing aids. These men are likely ex-lovers of Emily’s and Jason is trying to uncover the ‘memories encapsulated’ of her past, or possibly even a present situation where Jason is insecure of who is in her life. Nonetheless, these characters dance on without him; in view, but also in silence. The act closes with crowman staring at Emily from a distance, where another masculine hand takes her. The conclusion, act 5; the house is now empty. The old man listening to the record (perhaps a timekeeper?) now speaks of this tale to us, teaching us that love is complex and could leave you the same way that Emily now distresses, tossing and turning in her sleep. The crowpeople now dance without her before approaching her bed together. Here, they return the 4 keys that they once held to her house, as they no longer need them. The keys are useless to them. And then the only remaining thing is the record player. Time continues on even after death…
Simple and provocative.
Director did a great job with the video. Haunting yet illuminating at the same time... I love it.

Beautiful, the album takes on a whole new level with visuals that truly do it justice.
I'm following this, definitely
