Somewhere between Moscow, Berlin and Lima, Jochen Schmalbach, Marcus Meyn and Volker Hinkel had the desire to develop a new project apart from the band CAMOUFLAGE, with whom the three have been traveling around the world for more than fifteen years. From now on, the first EP by M.I.N.E. is available via Believe Digital. In order to be able to experiment with each other musically, the basic principle was that everything should be possible, which everyone would like. Thus, past meets present and future, DEEP HOUSE meets OASIS, Minimalism meets Bombast, and KRAFTWERK meets on SEK PISTOLS. One began to develop new songs from the many ideas. The result was a mixture of Dark Electronic, and guitars, which in their diversity stretched the bow between Electro Wave, Gothic and Mainstream Pop.The first single, ‘Things We've Done’, deals with the everyday human failure in so many areas of life. We strive for the good and fail miserably - the only thing we can do is try to stand it and continue... Musically, melancholy prevails. The melodies are catchy and bearing. In addition to an acoustic version, there are also three very different remixes. What does M.I.N.E mean? The band name derives, on the one hand, from the phonetically correct pronunciation of the singer's last name, Marcus Meyn, as well as from the individual confession of the joint musical cooperation between the gentlemen.
