Along comes a virus that slowed down everything cultural. But you cannot stop the universe. And just like that, The Universe By Ear have used the time to work themselves deeper into the cosmos of their own sound. After the liberating album I (2017), the more structured II (2019), the three-piece- band went further than before on their third self-titled album. III is about unknown spaces and uncanny depths. So, it isn't surprising that the albums 45 minutes of music is divided into 5 songs only, with running times between 7,5 and 12 minutes. As before, The Universe By Ear apply unexpected breaks and sudden changes of direction, but for the first time there are also parts that breathe, grow and even fight against their creators. At the same time the lyrics have gotten deeper and weightier with topics like dystopias, search for self and live in general. As usual no easy meal from The Universe By Ear, but a very rich one.
