St1ck I / St1ck II

The first encounter between Felix Kubin and Bound By Endogamy dates back to March 7, 2024, during a Bongo Joe night at Petit Bain in Paris. BBE performed their debut LP, while Felix presented Cell with Hubert Zemler. Later that year, they reunited at Kalabalik p Tyrolen. The next morning in Alvesta, a surreal breakfast brought together thirty black-clad crows and a few confused families – a scene straight out of a Roy Andersson film. Between bites of toast, Felix, Kleio and Shlomo realized how much they shared musically. In 2025, invitations crossed paths: BBE performed at Papiripar Festival in Hamburg, then Felix spent time in Geneva. At Shlomo’s studio, machines were synced, knobs twisted, natural wine poured, and improvisations recorded. Back home, Felix shaped the material into two instrumental drafts and sent them to Geneva. BBE reworked them, adding vocals. A series of tight exchanges between Hamburg and Geneva followed until the final form emerged. The 7″ was then mastered by Gavin Weiss. St1ck I explores the failures of a mechanical woman dreaming of perfection – or perhaps the reverse. St1ck II takes the form of a prayer glorifying pesticides and those who generously distribute them.
