Vundabar’s latest release, Surgery and Pleasure, marks a transformative chapter for the band. After facing personal challenges that left him unable to play with the band, Hagen reinvented his creative process. He crafted this album by layering guitar parts, recording each segment in isolation, and gradually piecing together a profound musical narrative.
The album delves into the intricate cycle of grief, with tracks like ‘Beta Fish’, which blends physicality and escapism, and ‘Let Me Bleed’, which delivers a punch of sarcastic self-pity. The epic ‘I Need You’ showcases moments of mercy and empathy, revealing that loss can be a twisted addition to our understanding of life.
