ULVER released their fourth EP, A Quick Fix of Melancholy, on this day in 2003.
The lyrics for "Vowels" are taken from poet Christian Bök's 2001 book Eunoia.
The book, Eunoia, is in addition to being absolutely beautiful writing a mammoth disciplinary achievment. We appreciate systematic processes like the ones Bök employs in his book. And we relate because he works in ways akin to how we do with the technology of sound and music.
