On the first physical stopover of IV (...)’s multi-year release phase, Zooey Aggro (13 Year Cicada, Tommy Lobo) puts an associative torrent of words over an ever-condensing and dissolving rhythmic «pattern pyramid» ("4444"). On "Rand", Anna Hirsch (Ikarus) weaves polyphonic meandering vocal lines over a seemingly aimless guitar foundation. Side B of this 10" vinyl EP features the song "Peng"! which unleashes a digital / disembodied / automatized musical avalanche that transitions into another sonic sphere through Marlon McNeill’s (Combineharvester) rather corporeal and organic vocal blast. In addition, side B hosts the song "Meeressäuger", where Martin Schenker (Alois) adds dreamy, wandering sounds and an equally floating layer of lyrics.
