13 & God's debut single bleeds warmth and love out onto riding melancholia. The plain words of Markus Acher steal the spotlight, curling themselves around the band's music, while B-side "Soft Atlas" showcases some of doseone's finer neuroses. His poetry calls the earth's axis into question over a track that pulses with punched-out drums, only to be levelled by subtle guitar pluck and vocal harmony.
Exclusive to this release are two sweeping remixes. The icy cold atmospherics of 13 & God's "Into the Trees" are reimagined in dub by why?, who hijacks dose's lyrics and completely resings them in his characteristic drawl. The other remix, "l'atlas flexible/von grandleute" is splattercore artist hrvatski's skittering six-minute mashup of "Soft Atlas" and "Men of Station". It's a gorgeous rebirth that only begins to hint at the genre-defying range found on the upcoming full-length. Await eagerly!
