Mastered by Paul Gold (LCD Soundsystem, Eels, Sulfjan Stevens), Hobos & Architects is finally released. We are so excited to unleash our longest and most colorful album to date!

2018
For the final production of Hobos & Architects, EPHEMERE team up with Ruediger Illg who had already wowed us with the production of Hologram II.

Meanwhile, we are writing plenty of new songs.

2004
Live-gigs in Jena. Live demo album "Outside the Golden Cage" is launched. Some copies are sold over this Web site, but we are not overwhelmed with the sound quality and soon stop selling the CD.

Houssein Take joins as a guitarrist.
