Influenced by Nils Frahm, Bon Iver, The xx, Paul Kalkbrenner. Søren Strand was raised in the port district of Hamburg-Altona by his single mother, a Filipina nurse who worked double shifts. He learned to play on his grandmother's old upright piano, writing melodies to match the rhythm of the cargo cranes outside his window. His music, a unique blend of tropical-pop and North Sea melancholy, is shaped by a decade-long, on-and-off love with a maritime archaeologist who is always leaving. These songs are the sound of being anchored to a place you can't imagine leaving, for a person you can't bear to lose.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The condensation ring from your Astra bottle
Stains the softwood here from last October.
The gantry cranes are praying in the drizzle,
a silent, slow mechanical novena.

[Chorus]
So watch them now, you harbor sound,
Keep their hands from letting go.
On this cold and shifting ground,
it's the only prayer I know.

[Verse 2]
One chipped shot glass from Kiel.
A book of tide charts, pages bent.
Two keys left on a steel ring.
The salt-stiff collar of a coat you lent.

[Chorus]
So watch them now, you harbor sound,
Keep their hands from letting go.
On this cold and shifting ground,
it's the only prayer I know.

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
He turned to the bar and said, "It's just the work."
The way a man might say a final word.

[Outro]
Keep their hands from letting go.
The only prayer I know.
