Septober Octember, things I remember

So here we are in August 2024. Just finished a US tour with Dream Skills in July, to promote our new vinyl album AS WE SPEAK, out on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia. Its Dutch release will be in the first week of October.

Recordings started around mid 2022 with Steve Albini in Chicago, USA, and then later on some more tracks were recorded by Bianca Bibiloni in Devon, UK. Afterwards the vocals were recorded in Sweden, on the isle of Ven. So yes, we took our time. But it’s worth it. It looks great and it sounds even better.

Next stop is three days of recording with Bazip Zeehok in September, then adding vocals to Is This A House 2, followed by some shows in October/November with Bazip Z and Titty Twister BB. In February 2025 the first live shows in Belgium with Sopa Boba, built around That Moment, a story by Moldavian author Nicoleta Esinencu. Dream Skills & G.W. Sok plan to tour Spain in april 2025.
