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."
