"I think a lot of things lead up to us making this record. Maybe we finally allowed ourselves to musically reflect our years in Berlin, moments in dark nightclubs flying high. We wanted to transport people into the club with us. Into the tense, faceless, euphoric world that can present itself in the right environment with the right repetition of the right chords and rhythms. Transcendence. When people stop thinking and just feel, just move. That deep escape."

I left Tokyo for Belgium when I was 7 years old and in many ways my Japanese stayed at that level. When I sing in Japanese it put me into this naive, almost childlike mindset that allows me to express what I feel right away. You don't need to understand the words just the feeling that they convey." Aili Maruyama

"High Alone" is from the Iranian-Dutch singer/songwriter's EP 'Raving Dahlia.'
"'Raving Dahlia' is a physical creation, born out of frustration, pressure and unmeasurable expectations of a female artist whom needs to endure a career during her development as a woman.
Sevdaliza spent the last two years building a physical robot to conceptualize the harsh truth about navigating in the music industry as a woman who does not confirm to the industry standard. Dahlia is the perfect artist."
