OUR ALBUM IS OUT NOW - friday 12.09.25
The birds of choice have flown the nest. Soaring high for you all to hear.
Our 2nd album is out there, everywhere and for everyone.
It’s a big step for us, both as a band and as people. The album looks back on darker times, though the music carries a renewed lust for life in all its chaoticness. We wanted to speak through words and through music as well. It was recorded in a couple of recording sessions and now you can go back in time and be there with us.
In our songs we try to get closer to ourselves in order to learn and also to take other people to places they haven’t been, away from somewhere or towards somewhere. It’s a slice of our lives and thus there’s also songs about bigger things which affect us deeply. There’s a lot of gratitude on this album for the luck into which some people, and we, are born. But there’s also anger because of the absurd inequality and the unspeakable things people do to each other and to the world. We believe awareness and empathy are crucial in these times.
We hope this album takes you to places 🌏
So much gratitude to everyone who can be found on this album, at the roots or in the treetop 🌳
