After nearly ten years, we finally finished it. Our first studio release, available on bandcamp: https://rainbow-blood.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-the-pickle-factory (and Tidal, Youtube, Deezer, Quobuz)

This is our first record—the first music we ever made together. We started recording Autumn Dreams in November 2016 and wrapped up the sessions with Spells and Curses in September 2017.

The recordings took place in a studio in Aachen, Germany—a space that used to be a pickle factory before it turned into a place for music. Somehow, that history stuck with the sound.

This record was made completely independently—no label, no producer—funded and carried by us from start to finish.

In 2025, the songs finally got the attention they deserved. The album was mixed and mastered by Eric Michels, who had worked in that same studio back in the day—bringing things full circle. Thanks for listening! Polly & Flow

Huge thanks to:

Eric (for letting Flow use his drum kit and for shaping the final sound),
Zoe (for her additional E-guitar on Dreamspeed and Great White Light),
Joe (for listening to our demos countless times and being a fan from the very beginning),
Fifi, APJ, Alienz, and all our friends and families.

These songs sat with us for a long time. Now they’re yours.
