Sudden Infant - Joke Lanz, with Christian Weber on bass, and Alexandre Babel on drums - lays on a battery of electronics, loops, field recordings and samples to complement mostly semi-spoken vocals. Short bursts of angular flex are heavily propelled by depth-charge rhythms, wry lyrical musings on modern living, and sensibilities hatched from years of experience in the worlds of sound art, abstract music, and industrialised junk-noise.

"Lunatic Asylum" depicts a world in absolute disarray as the seams binding it together slowly fall apart to reveal jesters whose best attempts to glue everything back in place are built on bigger lies more transparent than ever. Meanwhile, citizens of the developed world turn on each other, with their descent into an ignorance nourished by half-baked cultural nuggets pre-packaged and sold as great and awe-inspiring work. Everything has to be recorded, photographed and shared as brain cells are decimated by false ideals, propaganda, exaggerated lifestyles. Such are the snapshots that resonate as "Lunatic Asylum" takes some well-aimed swipes at the human condition of the 21st Century.

Features a fantastic guest appearance by Franz Treichler (The Young Gods). Contains 2 bonus tracks that won't be on the forthcoming LP edition. Digipak with artwork by Joke Lanz, Martin Baumgartner, Selma Marhaug, and design by Lasse Marhaug. Comes with artcard and sticker.
