soccer Committee - soccer Committee (2022) Hi-Res

This album was originally released as CDr in 2005. Tracks 8 and 9 are exclusive to this reissue. "These songs were written between 2004 and 2005, when I had just discovered how I wanted to approach the phenomenon of 'song'. I had created songs with just voice for years, and now had found that the guitar could help tell me what mattered to me. I felt I could create a space by carefully experiencing and 'watching' voice, guitar, silence and overtones. I enjoyed this making of quiet songs, where I could voice things that would get lost in a crowd. I remember wondering if I should try to release them, being concerned about losing my own intimate space to create the little prayers I sang to myself. But I overcame this concern, spread some cd-r's and got to play in all kinds of nice places, finding my life enriched by meeting wonderful people, music lovers. So, it's just wonderful that 17 years from then we're still connected and Sietse offered to give these songs an official release, and Wouter and Rutger both joined in for a magical remix. It makes it shine even brighter to me."
