BIO

AUAs second album, The Damaged Organ, explores in depth the concept of alienation. While the duos songs approach this topic with introspection (I am a stranger to body) as well as a sociological perspective (I am alien to this world), to a certain extent the album is also a story of a search for identity: Who am I and how do I fit into this world? Musically, this is reflected in a space that seems more boundless than AUAs 2020 debut, I Dont Want It Darker. New possibilities open up. There is more at stake.

All the more astonishing that this multifaceted work was once again recorded in DIY fashion. Before production started, Fabian Bremer and Henrik Eichmann went hunting for strange and unusual electronic instruments, seeking inspiration and new sounds which wouldexpandupon AUAs alreadyeclectic mix of explosive Motorik beats, Carpenter-esque arpeggios, and surf guitars.

Throughout The Damaged Organ Bremer and Eichmann play virtually every instrument while taking turns on vocals.Islands Song alsofeatures Annika Henderson (Anika, Exploded View), whose voice adds auniqueelement to the otherworldly nature of the track, the modulating synthetic melodiesof whichbring Mort Garsons Plantasia to mind.

All songs written, performed and recorded by Fabian Bremer and Henrik Eichmann. Lyrics and vocal line for Islands Song written by Annika Henderson. Mixed by Henrik Eichmann and Fabian Bremer. Mastered by Philipp Welsing at Original Mastering. Artwork by Mihailo Kalabi. Typography by Fabian Bremer.

Imagine Radiohead if they werent weighed down with all that baggage. An impressively alienated half hour.
