Duett & Doom Days
There’s a blog post from April that tells all about the album’s 5th song, Duett. Scroll down to find it or click here. Now that Duett is uploaded, the online album is complete. You can stream or download (in any…

Your shipment of awesome has arrived
To see that yellow DHL-truck appear down the street and come to a halt in front of the house was just lovely. Five hundred of these, no kidding. They look great, it’s everything that we want. They are available for…
