"personne was born in a moment of spontaneous inspiration during an electrifying night at the Helsinki Club. It's as though the band emerged fully formed, radiating the passionate essence of their message: 'we are no one, wir sind niemand, nous sommes personne.' This mantra encapsulates their philosophy, a fearless exploration of identity in a culture obsessed with visibility."
"The EP is a powerful critique of the intoxicating yet superficial allure of the digital realm. Each track is woven with sincerity and depth, akin to the surreal pop landscapes of Aldous Harding, the raw honesty of Sophie Hunger, and the lyrical brilliance of Adrienne Lenker. Through heated discussions and a commitment to collaboration, personne transforms conflict into art."

Standout tracks like 'avalanche' offer an exhilarating call for liberation, layered with lush harmonies that echo the brilliance of Radiohead."
