Nein Rodere - The Perils Of Astir

It’s hard to believe, but some people still dream of seeing their music released on frail 7-inches - not a tape, not a cd compilation, not a bandcamp EP, but the most endangered format of them all. Probably people old enough to have once been enchanted by galaxies of suppliers of tender indie songs and experimental fever dreams (Sarah Records ❤️). Strong defenders of anachronistic formats ourselves, we support Berlin-based guitarist in his perilous quest. 1 of a set of 2 seven-inches released by Nein Rodere, The Perils Of Astir was vaguely recorded under the influence of Hood. Words from the artist:

“I always wanted to make a 7" but never had the right song for it, one that's not an album or a compilation song but wants to stand by itself. Here it was...well, almost.

Some 2 years of steady tweaking later, and thanks to the help of the fantastic Jude Hagan (vocals) and the fantastic Roxane Métayer (strings), it eventually became what it wanted to be

Once the THE PERILS was done, the two sibling songs materialised swiftly, but not without their own challenges. They are comfortable in stretching the Nein Rodere parameters, as B-Sides should.” (One per person please)
