Sofa Surfers

Heavy dub-inflected basslines meet rain-slicked synth-pop. A celebratory yet brooding retrospective of two decades spent in the shadows of the Viennese underground.

It's the sound of a rainy night in Vienna if the city was built out of sub-bass and synthesizers.

A heavy, cinematic tension that feels like a slow-burn thriller set in a rain-slicked city.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the bassline in Warped feels like it is physically pulling the tempo backward into a thick, dubby sludge.
The transition into the Rework of See the Light where the original soul is filtered through a modern, colder synth-pop lens.
The final minute of Endangered Speeches where the rhythmic tension finally breaks into a haunting, atmospheric fade.
