Recorded by Billow (January-September 2020)

Lenka, Jakub and Vojtech have been based in a small Czech town Veseli nad Moravu for the past three years. Since then they've released two acclaimed albums on Slovakian label Z Tapes, but mainly they've found peace and silence for writing and recording songs in the foothills of the Carpathian mountains.

Although their DIY philosophy hasn't changed, there is an apparent shift in sound on their new record 'III'. While the fragile lo-fi debut 'Maps' aimed to reveal as little as possible and the following album 'Seascape' was carried on the wave of lo-fi indie rock, on its third album Billow become more open to pop music, though the overall mood of the album remains dark.

The main theme of the album is 'missing persons'. "The songs were written about people - family, friends or just inhabitants of our hometown that we have lost or who have disappeared recently," says the singer Lenka Zborilova.
