Debut album “Permeate” OUT NOW!
Release day! We’re extremely happy to present our debut album “Permeate” to you, released today on ScentAir Records.
You can preview the complete album on our Bandcamp page, download it in digital form, or order a CD copy, with the option of having it signed by Gijs.
Alternatively, you can order the CD at these international mailorders: Poponaut (Germany), Popmarket (Russia) and TestHiFi (Russia). A great way to save on postage if you’re ordering merch from other bands as well!
“Permeate” release show
We will celebrate the release of our debut album “Permeate” with a special release show in Café de Cactus in Hengelo (NL) on September 16th at 20:00. We will play an hour long set with many songs from the new album and we will be happy to sign your purchased CDs afterwards. Special guests for this concert are Voltmeister, who will warm up the audience with the analogue voltage flowing through their enormous modular synths. Admittance is free!
