The opener, and single, Ceramic XP, begins with an amicable acoustic 12-string but before you realize it a high-wire switch changes the tune drastically.
90’s wall-of-sound guitars evoking the spirit of Weezer and The Offspring, swirling to make the perfect mix of rehearsal-space grunge and warped melodies from major-chord synthesizers.
Lead-singer Louis Scherfig pours his heart out with his distinct baritone voice, travelling into the loneliness of his dreams and ideas, fist-clenching to what he knows as reality. “I trust the waves, not the sport – I trust the house but not the town”.
Comparing himself to cheap and broken ceramics, he contemplates that nothing that’s happening feels strictly real – but we have to navigate it and accept that while our senses can be confused by space and time, we all have to navigate through it anyway.

Especially nostalgia-ridden for the teenagers of the 90’s – the barely 3-minute long tune sounds just as fresh as it would do in a cassette-player in your dad’s old burner as it does on a sound-system in the summer of 2024.
