After only a couple of rehearsals, Berlin-based Irish experimental folk band Landers decided to record a live session in a large warehouse known as KAOS, in the outskirts of Berlin with their friend Aidan Floatinghome

Over a short period of 4 days, almost all tracks were recorded live in one room with a limited amount of recording equipment. The experience from the KAOS session "helped the band to understand new ways of expression, emphasizing the importance of a loose, free, and shared process." What came out of it was a vulnerable weaving of jazzy, ambient soundscapes with a strong folk backbone from many hours of improvised recordings.

The band felt that the session itself is something worth sharing first. It gives them time to not rush things creatively and to also have a chance to invite new listeners to sit beside them through the early development process, just like the way they usually share rough demos with close friends.

The title track 'Just Thinking' introduces a new sound, playing as a counterpart to their first release, yet still manages to connect to the overall earthy sound of the session. The second track Heart is in the Land (Reprise) is an ambient soundscape, reminding us of the sound of their first release.

The group will also perform a Facebook Live session from Berlin on the 14th of November at 9pm Irish time.
