An out-of-tune choir beneath your room, and suddenly you find yourself riding in a carriage straight out of The Frog Prince. As the iron bands around your heart begin to fall apart, the larva inside your head relentlessly spins your cocoon.

Instead of loud guitars, the listener is wrapped in layers of intricate harmonies that, in true “Carbsian” fashion, naturally come with a touch of dissonance.

Cocoon takes you on an enchanting journey that is equal parts dark and whimsical, just as any good fairy tale should be.

... is OUT NOW!
We’re so happy to finally share this album with you. It took countless sleepless nights and more than a few nervous breakdowns, but in the end it all worked out and we are incredibly proud of how the album turned out. We truly poured our hearts into this thing.

Huge thanks to everyone who made this album possible. And of course, the biggest thanks to YOU for listening! Oh Hedonism is all yours now. Or as the first lines on the album say: take what you need, no holding back now.

We’ve captured everything that defines us as a band in these four tracks, including some of our favorite live bangers like What If and Telescope. And we’re really proud of how the record turned out.

We started recording the first song just two months after releasing Conform Deform, so we definitely didn’t have much time to sit back and relax. As always, we produced the entire record ourselves. Heck, we even made a DIY music video for every single song!

While our debut album Are We Taking It Slowly was essentially Johannes’s solo project, this EP showcases the first songs we wrote as a collective.

The arrangements got livelier and the lyrics more focused. Instead of pointing fingers at others, the songs deal with personal struggles rooted in today’s society.

Released December 14, 2023 via Schaufel & Besen Records.

Johannes wrote and recorded this one on his own. He played every instrument, mixed it, made two music videos and used his acrylic paintings for the artwork. Released April 22, 2022.

MP3Hugger: “An incredible debut release, fulsome, ambitious.”
