BOY, the powerful musicians unfold stories of life in their dense, airy songs, interwoven with warmth, empathy and the ability to find oneself in the universal moments of existence.
“This is the beginning of anything you want…”
BOY
With her second album WE WERE HERE after a long wait, the two musicians finally return to spread colorful sparks with their songs. And there you are, immersed in their nightly sea of lights, carried away by their curiosity, their zest for life, their melancholy and yet the The ground beneath your feet is always somehow tangible. You want to find everything, discover it – taking a breath would be a waste of time.
The album title, as well as the song of the same name WE WERE HERE is a hymn to the immortality of precious moments and interpersonal encounters.
The duo itself can also look back on many unforgettable experiences from the last few years. Their debut album MUTUAL FRIENDS entered the top 10 of the German sales charts in 2011, stayed in the top 100 for almost 40 weeks and went gold. »Little Numbers« remains a charming earworm that has stuck in one's mind. The piece has been viewed over 14 million times on YouTube alone. BOY played two sold-out tours through Germany and Switzerland, including additional shows and festival appearances. Concerts all over the world followed, and the music of the two made its way from the big cities to the most remote corners. In Japan and Denmark they even landed at number one on the airplay charts for a short while, before embarking on a tour of 13 cities in the USA and Canada After a completely sold-out acoustic tour in March 2013, the band returned to North America at the end of the same year with a full line-up for another month of concerts.
The sound of the second album sounds like it has grown. The light has just changed a little. Was MUTUAL FRIENDS perhaps more of an album for the day, this is how WE WERE HERE in a nocturnal glowing robe. BOY have further developed their symbiosis of organic, acoustic elements and synth sounds, the songs are a dense yet airy web of the stories and experiences of the two musicians. Deep harmonies and arrangements are complemented by direct and touching lyrics. The songs are interwoven with warmth , empathy and the opportunity to find yourself in the stories.
WE WERE HERE is a collection of songs that tell of personal yet universal moments in life.
“We were here / we were here / we were really here”
sing BOY, and everything starts to sparkle.
