The Melody of Unfulfilled Love

Posted on October 23, 2024 by admin

This article is based on this Dutch article of Martijn Benders

With this debut album, we wanted to create a specific sound. There probably aren’t many albums that explore the intersection of poetry, roots reggae, and world music, with forays into electronic music and even Coil and the philosophies of Hakim Bey.

With a total of 19 tracks, here are the individual titles:

Side 1:

Bestie wear lyrie
Admit it, you’re a Friettentmittoo
Here comes the maverick
Hakim Bey
Rattlesnake skank
The Sound of Wonty Love
Once I Wish Asked Death
Mi just unravel, whaddabout u?
Ohmmaria Ohm Ohm
Admit it, you’re a Friettentmittoo (the denial phase)

Side 2:

Wobblekinesis
Ye old Bussy dub
Lag ja Gale se Phir
Samando (divine remains)
Come like a ghost town
Te Bao (The Fortress)
We have fallen headlong from the sky
Whadisda you fannie-fessie
Ain Soph Aur

Personnel:
Martijn Benders: Vocals, Omnisphere, percussion, mastering
Queen Sheba: Vocals
De Theeland Dromer: Vocals

Castles Get Kicked in the Bricks each Summer

Let’s face it: some backpacks just carry your stuff. This one tells your entire life philosophy in one ridiculous, multilingual joke. Imagine strolling into a museum, a bus stop, or your ex's new wedding—with a bag that declares, in ten languages, that castles are always the losers of summer.

Why? Because deep down, you know:

  • Tourists always win.
  • History has a sense of humor.
  • And you, my friend, are not carrying your lunch in just any nylon sack—you’re carrying it in a medieval meltdown on your shoulders.

This backpack says:

  • “I’ve been to four castles, hated three, and got kicked out of one for asking where the dragons were.”
  • “I appreciate heritage sites, but I also think they could use a bit more slapstick.”
  • “I’m cute, I’m moopish, and I will absolutely picnic on your parapet.”

It’s absurd.
It’s philosophical.
It holds snacks.

In short, it’s not just a backpack—it’s a mobile monument to glorious collapse.

And honestly? That’s what summer’s all about.

Philosophy thirts

Feeling surveilled? Alienated by modernity? Accidentally started explaining biopolitics at brunch again? Then it’s time to proudly declare your loyalties (and your exhaustion) with our iconic “I’m with Fuckold” shirt.

This tee is for those who’ve:

  • Said “power is everywhere” in a non-BDSM context.
  • Tried to explain Discipline and Punish to their cat.
  • Secretly suspect the panopticon is just their neighbour with binoculars.

Wearing this shirt is a cry of love, rebellion, and post-structural despair. It says:
“Yes, I’ve read Foucault. No, I will not be okay.”

Stay tuned for more philosophical shirts and backpacks, as we at Benders are working on an entire collection that will make even the ghost of Hegel raise an eyebrow.
