Circles and a circular movement have been constant in the life of “O” – the bands 2016 studio album. From the circular writing and recording they set up in late December 2014 in their newly purchased collective studio space “Doornroosje” in Nijmegen, Holland, the famous former pop venue of their hometown, to playing in the round in Arena crowds as main support to Muse across 14 dates across Europe in 2016. The title of the bands fourth studio album O now seems strangley prescient. This letter not only represents the sound “Oh”, but symbolizes a circular movement. Torre Florim: “That circle is resembled in every aspect of the album. We recorded the songs in a circular set up, here in our studio. “O” stands for nothing, yet for everything at the same time – and for infinity. Our new songs are repetitive, you could say they can go on forever.” But also substansively the symbolical cirlce plays a big role. Florim: “For example, I write about being stuck in a loop, making the same cyclical movements without being able to escape from it. And about the moment that we as human kind no longer die: how would such an endless life look like?” Will O be a burdensome or philosophical record? “It isn’t all that heavy: there’s also a song on the record that’s about nothing at all.”
