Sounds Like
(less metaphoric)
... simple songs with single clean guitar and voice or
... distorted, cracking guitars 52 octaves below zero empowered by heavy feedbacking old valve and tube amps aching, screaming, moaning, humming and whispering under one single or a few long droning chords
(more metaphoric)
... birds, bushes, crickets, rain
... loving, longing
... lying with someone in warm soft grass at the edge of a big wood of huge dark green trees close to an abandoned graveyard in the after-shocks of an earthquake, beneath rain and sunshine
... making peace, going to war
... LA, NRW and LA, CA

STATUS
We're with many sounds of God and many beings
may they be unborn, growing, dying or dead.
Thanks to power and amplification. We wouldn't be anything without you!
Besides performing and recording we like to listen and dance to many kinds of music. We like a lot of people, animals and plants for different or no reasons and chocolate for its taste. We like to explore, love, work, pray, swim and hold our face towards the sun with our feet up.
It's all wilderness, it's not civilized.
Chris sings and plays guitar in Kint, Ugly Iglu, 100000 Tonnen Kruppstahl, Knueppelkorner (RIP), el Kroet (RIP), Einige Kolopeken (RIP), Knobs (RIP)
Hey Chris, thinking of you. Writing you a long letter tomorrow. In the mean time good luck teaching until you find a another job. Kids these days are something else.
