we sit across from these faded windows Looking out over landscapes painted in our minds abstract shadows these abstract shadows dissolving these memories the ashes spread of better days gone by and the way we looked ahead our eyes were locked in sequence connection was frayed the wires shorting out there was nothing said no rules to break in sight these abstract shadows on the white walls of the night give us an answer that we’ve never heard lost in the way we speak and the blinking of the switch abstract patterns causing this glitch

about

"We Are Nowhere" is the debut EP from producer/musicians, Augustine Backer and Eric Shans. The two met a few years ago at a producers meet-up and in 2019, they finally decided to finish the music they had sketched out. It's an EP that wears a lot of influences on its sleeve, yet keeps an original sound and thread throughout.

Opener "Nowhere" cinematically starts things off with an atmospheric sea of sound as if it’s the opening credits to a science fiction film. Eric's effected vocals coast over the sonic landscape until the track breaks into a 4/4 beat dropping everything out periodically until it all comes together at the end again. "Abstract Shadows" starts similarly, only this time a monstrous kick drum and bass line drive the pulse forward. Ghosts of older OMD can be heard here. It's catchy stuff and at the same time moody, dark, and layered. "Ever Know" takes a breakbeat type pop structure and adds layers of melodic density along with melancholic lyrics and delivery. "Bubble Chamber" is an instrumental that will be sure to please industrial fans with sinister echoes, robotic clanks and lasers, and a slow pounding beat. "Echoes Reverse" ups the energy with straight ahead synth pop dance elements, and "Light Voyagers" closes things off with a soft, minor key melody replete with xylophones, chopped up violins, and music box melodies. There’s a lot to like here, and they are already working on their second album, due to be out in 2020.
