Stairs by 264 HOURS OF SLEEP
After the release of „Escalator“ in Summer 2023 we played a few duo shows in Vienna. Instead of trying to replicate the original arrangments we went in the other direction and reinvented the songs with our acoustic instruments.
The songs are stripped down to their essence, yet at the same time opened up again to the playful improvisation and spontaneous live energy, out of which the original versions grew.
All the tracks were recorded live in one room without overdubs.
