“One thousand pounds put all together
We’re disco brothers to last forever”

“In a lot of ways I feel I’ve been in a fog in 2011, and I’m pretty sure it’s not entirely due to listening to krautrock and ambient. Lives change: you get busy, you work hard, you crave silence or television, you want to spend time with your family and not on a computer or plugged…
