This 10″ vinyl EP combines the first four UFO songs 4444, Meeressäuger, Rand and Peng!

On the first physical stopover of IV (…)’s multi-year release phase, Zooey Aggro (13 Year Cicada, Tommy Lobo) puts an associative torrent of words over an ever-condensing and dissolving rhythmic «pattern pyramid» (4444). On «Rand», Anna Hirsch (Ikarus) weaves polyphonic meandering vocal lines over a seemingly aimless guitar foundation. Side B of this 10″ vinyl EP features the song «Peng»! which unleashes a digital / disembodied / automatized musical avalanche that transitions into another sonic sphere through Marlon McNeill’s (Combineharvester) rather corporeal and organic vocal blast. In addition, side B hosts the song «Meeressäuger», where Martin Schenker (Alois) adds dreamy, wandering sounds and an equally floating layer of lyrics.

The upcoming album IV (…) will extend over the next twenty-four months or more. UFO wrote (and continues to write) at least twelve songs, hosting twelve guest vocalists and instrumentalists, so far ranging from Pop, Rap, Indie, New Music, Jazz and beyond. UFO invited them to contribute lyrics, vocals, instrumental building blocks and arrangements: Zooey Aggro (13 Year Cicada, Tommy Lobo), Martin Schenker (Alois), Legion Seven, Rea Dubach (Omni Selassi), Jannik Giger, Daniela Weinmann (Odd Beholder), Marlon McNeill (Combineharvester), Nives Onori (mantocliff), Raphael Rossé (mantocliff), Anna Hirsch (Ikarus) und Claire Huguenin (Jibcae).
