Pen Pal - Crowd Rock - 1CD

Why can’t we have both? To feel and to function at the very same time. To be inside a thing while not having to adhere to its rules. The comfortable same, always anew. There might be a horseshoe to it or a full circle. Who would say things like this?

On Crowd Rock Pen Pal misquote the whole wide world and themselves, too. A collection of 9 songs, with the title referring to both the shoulders of a certain type of giant and to the musics way of creation and intended effect: these songs could not have been made by one and they are made for all. Insert egalitarian one-liner, but really, genuinely mean it. This is everything you already knew, expressing something yet unheard. A hat in hand, breeze in hair, microdosing hope. In the end, there only ever was one option: just wait for the earth to meet the sun

Pen Pal is a band operating between Berlin and Amsterdam, set in motion by an accidental back and forth of mail. Aiming to articulate the now in a way that can not make sense but feel as if it just might, they combine offkilter-hymns with motorik experimentation. A sound is not a place, neccessarily. Still, they sit between drawn out arrangements and instantaneous gratification. All is about to change within a moments notice - time and again and again and stop.
