Belgium’s very own vintage electro duo METROLAND is one of the very few bands that maintain a huge focus on delivering fully conceptual albums, both in art and music. Their loyal and continuously growing fan base already warmly embraced 3 highly appreciated themed albums ('Mind the Gap' - 2012, 'Triadic Ballet' - 2015 and 'Things will never sound the Same again' - 2016) and a massive 4CD best of box ('12x12' - 2017). Today their brand new studio album glorifies the 4th concept by the Belgian synthesizer duo: photography. Faithfull as ever to their well-known typical soundscapes, METROLAND this time joined forces with 5 Belgian professional photographers from an art collective called F-8 (pronounced as 'Faith').

The result is an almost filmic soundscape, filled with layered sequences and samples of all kinds, standing side-by-side with vintage electronic rhythms, making the whole a truly visual aural experience like never before.
