With 'dark pop', 'dark indie', as tag lines, the new album by SCRATCHES, 'Rundown', with 'electronic songs' accompanied by rough, scratchy vocals, presents itself as more minimal than its fore runner. Eight dark and poetical songs, moody, from smooth to raw, are woven together by Sandro Corbat, Marco Nenniger and Jonas Prina and infused with the cryptic lyrics and versatile voice of Sarah Maria Burgin. Following his work on Before Beyond (2017) as co-producer, Darren Hayne rejoins as the band's sound engineer and Nicholas Winter (photography) and Max Zitzer (album design) continue their artistic design collaboration after 'fade' (2014).
