Terje Øverås - Most instruments and vocals + all the engineering & mixing that sounds dubious. Vivian Evelina Øverås - Vocals on “The Double Helix”. Fredrik Falk - Glockenspiel, engineering and mixing on “Shepherd of the Owls”, owls and samples on “Killing For Satan”, + overall salvage work (mastering). Wouter Eerdekens: Vaultmeister and indispensable support. The photograph on the cassette cover was taken by Elin Solvang on a holiday in Greece once upon a time. The book I’m reading there is “My Education: A Book of Dreams” by William S. Burroughs. The Epicurean Stefan Hanser asked: "Is this your next album cover?" and then it suddenly was. The lyrics for “A Blood-Red Rose of 49 Petals” were written by Jack Whiteside Parsons, but the poem is represented here in a (fittingly) incomplete form due to the fact that my notebook containing it caught fire during the recording session. (Mind where you place your candles, my dears!) And the song “Killing for Satan” was written by Harley Hatcher. A ton of thanks and love to Jason Pearl for releasing this on tape back in the day!

A VHS dream of places and times I’ve never been — Sinking in a Cheap Cocktails is my alternate adolescence captured in sound. Nights in forgotten roadside motels, neon lights, cheap cocktails, and acid techno collide into fleeting moments of escape and imagined freedom. What could be better?
