"Verslavend ongrijpbaar"

OUT NOW! 'Niet alles wat afwijkt is weerloos' by Plan Kruutntoone/ AhuraMazda 3000. Taking your orders at escrec.bandcamp.com

"Like the Bad Seeds meeting with Ornette Coleman’s double quartets under the strict eye of Galina Ustvolskaja, before a grey and red Marc Rothko sky. Tilted."

Plan Kruutntoone collaborated with AhuraMazda 3000 on an (anti-)gospel record: to stop handing over fear through generations and make some noise. The result is now released on vinyl, as two 12" albums, a 10" maxi single and a handmade 2 x 36 page book. All of these items are sold separately, but you get discounts if you buy them as a bundle.

PLEASE NOTE: production of the maxi single and book are DELAYED. As soon as they arrive we start shipping. This also applies to package deals that include the maxi single and/or book.

🌞 Ready for summer vibes? 🥑 Check 'Avocado' by : https://orcd.co/avocadooo

🌞 Summer is almost here! Today we release the single 'Avocado' bij Snackbar the Ambassador. A single with actual summer hit potential, so get it while it's hot: https://escrec.bandcamp.com/track/avocado

🥑 'Avocado' is like a melodramatic love story, which playfully uses the relationship with an avocado as a metaphor. The (German!) lyrics combine humorous everyday observations with a critical reflection on the Western superfood hype. Musically, the piece is a mix of bossa, polka and cumbia, with electric guitar and a swinging tuba-like Moog bass.

🥒 This single is another prelude to the highly anticipated upcoming album 'KomKomMerTijd', just like the previous freaky earwurm single 'Iedere Dag Vakantie' was a few years ago: https://escrec.bandcamp.com/album/iedere-dag-vakantie

✨ For people interested in a longread backstory about SNACKBAR The Ambassador, we've got you covered: https://escrec.bandcamp.com/track/avocado

Enjoy!
