The fourth album of JÜ focuses heavily on interaction and the return of live energy. According to the band, the most exciting thing about playing together is that during the improvised parts, they find themselves in places and situations that cannot be predicted in advance. "This is not a concept album, there was no grand pondering behind the songs and the whole thing, these are impressions, individual moods that are then worked out and matured. But not over-matured, so their roughness and rawness remain intact. Anyway, there's no need to over-explain what one of the band's important roots is, because it's folk music: the songs originate from it. No matter how we approach simpler or more complex ideas, it's always there in the back of our minds. The aesthetic part, of course, is that the way this band sounds is more like a power trio with distorted guitars. It's important to note that we don't want to play rock or metal music; the way the songs sound is very much an aesthetic decision."
