Finally We Are No One

Instead of telling you the boring truth about how this record was actually made and give you a list of bands we think it sounds like, would you not rather that I make up a nice story about it?

Well, here goes; there were these four kids who lived in a wooden shack by a dirty road that had no lights in the evening. There was not much to do around those parts, except maybe walking around, swimming or playing in the tunnel. Not that this was some kind of fairytale vacuum, life in this place had its ups and downs and emotional run-arounds.

And for some reason, maybe just to pass the time or trying to colour it in or something like that, the kids spent their days and nights building big wooden tone-apparats and number-processors to make music.

우리는 그 곳에 갔을때, 그 곳이 무척 마음에 들었어요. 마치 그 곳과 연결된 느낌을 받았죠. 그 곳에 있으면 시간에 대한 감각이 달라지죠, 여러 것들에게서 가장 멀리 떨어진 장소니까요. 발전기를 돌리는 것 외에는 어떠한 전기를 쓸 수도 없었죠, 전화도 안 되고, TV도, 라디오도 없어요. 무언가를 얻고 싶다만 직접 노력하는 걸 필요로 했죠.
