1. When did The VryllSociety start? Can you tell us a bit more about the history?
We came together after working together from another project, Lewi was a friend of ours and we asked him to join.

DJ Shadow, Can, Neu!, David Axelrod, Pink Floyd, Surealism, European Art House………thats just scratching the surface.

Expansive, unforgiving sorcery

6. Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
We build everything in the studio and we spend about 3 days on 1 track. With our music its not something you can rush, it’s got to be very precise, we’ll spend a whole day not even putting any parts down as such. Layering sound after sound to create a giant tapestry.
