AS IF

Two of us. Guitar, vocal, loops and beats. A record called AS IF, ten songs, not finished. Leave an email. Hear it when it exists.

The short version

Started in a rehearsal room during the covid lockdown. The rehearsals were not legal at the time. Both of us drinking heavily. Digging booze a bunch.

The songs got written anyway.

Peter has been sober for five years, Boris for nearly four.

Counted September 2026.

We are back together, working through the songs again. Nothing is out.

Work in progress, which means: not out. Release: [RELEASE DATE].

“As if we could twist
The course of events,
As if we were really free,
As if we were above everything.”
— Night Club Amnesia

“As if we were nowhere,
Nowhere to be found.”
— Deep Blue Shades

“As if this was a casino game. The Croupier.”
— Gospel for an Eternal Salvation

“Acting as if it was
As simple as it seems”
— Backfire

The Croupier had other views.

One message when AS IF is out. Possibly one before, if we play somewhere. Nothing else.
