Text by Smeerlappen:

"Ellende's latest release sees the band bringing together an album based on a trip Wim took to Japan to visit his cousin in the early 1990's. Most of the music in the records was recorded live at The Plantation in 2018, with a few minor overdubs added at various locations (Tokyo and London).

The music might sound a bit nostalgic, the ambience of warm February nights in Cape Town while the sounds of old French movies seep through a badly tuned piano. Sometimes the doors are shut and large metal sheets are heard processed through guitar pedals. A modular synthesiser , analogue synths (Roland SH-101, Juno 6, ARP Solus, Solina) and guitar have been used as well throughout the album.

This is the first album of a trilogy. The second album Unintentional Consequences will be released late 2020. "
