The music of the solo project Augenwasser has already been described as the soundtrack to lonely, sleepless nights or as a playlist for hungover, quasi non-existent sundays. The five-piece Augenwasser Band has now been radically reinterpreting a selection of these songs live for over a year. The group is made up of musicians from both sides of the Röstigraben (the language “border” between the french and the german part of Switzerland) and their amalgam of musical influences ranges from punk to krautrock to synth-pop.
This EP is more than just a snapshot of the band's live energy. A metaphorical vehicle - driving, psychedelic, playful and despite conventional rock gestures, defying the abyss of the usual clichés of this genre.
