Surrounded by barren cities, sterile concrete or over maintained, uniform patches of green, more and more animals are losing their last places of retreat. The city continues to grow inexorably but, where humans fail to impose their order, nature sprouts and crawls out of the tiny cracks in the asphalt and concrete and re-conquers its territory. Disused land is often the last place of retreat for wild animals in the city. More than two thousand species of plants can be found in Vienna alone, as well as half of all Austrian breeding birds and two thirds of the country's mammals. Many disused areas in Vienna are home to a host of threatened species like, for example, crested larks, nightingales, praying mantisses or firebellied toads. Countless mammals, birds, insects and amphibians are making their homes here once again. The city's wilderness is characterised by their comings and goings, their struggle to survive and their quest to find increasingly scarce resources and habitats.

Danish/American duo Sepiamusic bring a new level of electronic rock drive to their distinct feminine/masculine universe on “Trenches”, marking the band’s first official American debut and second full album out on Los Angeles-based label, Quango. The 12-track release is described by the band’s producer-half, Michael Adler Miltersen: “We wanted to write songs about the a journey of human nature with songs ranging in subjects from intitmacy and vulnerability, joy and hope, despair and longing, sex and bravery.” Regarding the title of “Trenches”, the band’s lead singer, Erin Chapman adds,“To us, the meaning of ‘trenches’ was the idea of the spaces in between – small cracks and refuges from big emotions, but places that one must eventually leave to face battlefields of reality. When we finally collected all the songs that we knew we wanted to include on the album we had this array of emotions – dark and light – so we wanted to find a theme that encompassed this idea.”
