So this was a slightly more difficult task for me, as all these four songs deal with heavier themes. The only new song here is “Snowchild,” which I created in just a few days in early 2024 and experimented with a few different fuzz sounds to give the song a bit of a 60s Psychedelic Rock-feeling perhaps.
“Cold Remains” is a leftover from Samsara Blues Experiment’s End Of Forever-period, but I’ve changed a few things here and of course don’t claim to be replacing the two former rhythm guys. But I like this new version better than what we played in the band. It’s simpler, more to the point. And no, I’m not suicidal.
“Morphine Prayer” is a very old track from 2011 (SBE Revelation & Mystery-period) that I never recorded well until now. All I had before was a dark black and white video recording of me playing this song in my Berlin apartment. It’s inspired from a hospital stay in Holland when SBE were supposed to play Roadburn Festival and I suddenly fell sick and spent a painful night under strong medication.
“Neurotic Nirvana” was one of the very first ideas for Fuzz Sagrado in 2021 and somehow I haven’t managed to finish it earlier. I tried to play this in one of the recent band settings, but somehow I felt like I had to finish it myself. Like all of these four tracks it’s also a kind of goodbye to former “friends.” I try not to be bitter about any of it …
