Derived from the German word “Feuerzeug,” Föllakzoid has been building a kind of response to the intuition of the kosmische bands of the 70s and the artists of the trance scene from the Berlin raves of the 90s (The Visions of Shiva, Cosmic Baby). Unlike their previous albums, which were produced in a single take, their latest record was made in a month from over 70 distinct recordings of guitars, bass, drums, synths, and vocals. Without any restrictions or guidelines, producer Atom™, who wasn’t present at the time of the recording, then reorganized everything into four sequences. The result of this collaborative sonic exploration recreates a pulsating transcendental journey of a young researcher seeking a supernatural realm, by attempting to retrace enigmatic moments of dissolved perceptions, where the vision of a dark matter particle altered their imagination. With a futuristic approach towards inner transmutation, V is a unique minimalist experience that tells a complex story about a cosmic energy that inhabits the human body. “We are the dream of the machine and as the bio technology rises, that distinction will no longer apply”, writes Domingæ. Kraftwerk had it right then. “Wir sind die Roboter.”
