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 U3 rattles the floorboards, it’s 3:47.
My thumb still hovers on your name saved from '07.
Sorry. I just—
I have calluses older than this whole damn October.

[Chorus]
I won’t sand this down
I won’t sand this down
Not this time, not for this town
Receiver is down

[Verse 2]
You said, “Just two more weeks, the harbor silt is historic.”
Sounds just like my mother, calling from UKE, shift-work stoic.
The windowpane’s cold on my forehead.
And I'm tired of leaving your side of the bed unmade.

[Chorus]
I won’t sand this down
I won’t sand this down
Not this time, not for this town
Receiver is down

[Bridge]
This dovetailed box I’m building for us won't align.
It just won't align. Not this time.

[Chorus]
I won’t sand this down
I won’t sand this down
Not this time, not for this town
Receiver is down

[Outro]
(sound of a phone hanging up, followed by a dial tone that cuts into the beat)
Receiver is down.
