Here's what I research based off every reference from both the songs and the album cover. Mirar - Mare (EP) references Album cover is from a well known painting from Caravage (Caravaggio) and this painting is known as "Judith Beheading Holofernes". Context: "...painted in c. 1598-1599 or 1602, in which the widow Judith stayed with the Assyrian general Holofernes in his tent after a banquet then decapitated him after he passed out drunk." "Three figures with a red drape in the background: just a few elements, yet capable of orchestrating an utterly realistic theater of contrasts: darkness and light, age and youth, life and death, strength and frailty. Judith is one of the heroines of the Old Testament, a young Jewish widow who saved her people from the besieging Assyrian army. She pretended to ally herself with the enemy and slew their general Holofernes with her own hands, after being welcomed to his camp with a festive banquet. The iconography had been common since the 1400s, yet it had never been depicted with such harsh and spectacular realism. Here we see scimitar plunged deep into Holofernes’ throat. Life is still coursing through Holofernes’ contracted hands and limbs, though not for much longer. The general’s mouth gapes in a strangled cry, and we see the spurting blood, as if Caravaggio wished to freeze the flashing instants of an act that cannot be halted with the gaze. The light falls from the top left, striking Judith’s slender figure in full: her forehead is furrowed, as if seeking to summon all her strength, both physical and spiritual, to overcome her revulsion at the act she feels compelled to perform. Her maidservant Abra, a young woman in the original story, is here a wrinkled old woman with hallucinated eyes, bearing witness to the horror that the viewer feels before such violence." 1.) Rachma Reference: Rachma is a shorter name for Rachmaninoff and it's melodic composition is from the piece Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18 (First 4 minutes, 40 seconds) 2.) Rose Bonbon Reference: No classical references; the name refers to a bar in Tours, France called Rose Bonbon. 3.) Hestehov Reference: No references. Hestehov could mean two things: Either it's Horse Hoof, or it means the botany plant known as coltsfoot. 4.) Franka Reference: Rameau: Les Cyclopes and Les Sauvages (start @0:26 on Les Cyclopes and continue onwards sync it with the intro to Franka). Also Franka means "Free" or "Truthful" in German name origin. For French meaning, since the band originates from France, could simply mean "from France." 5.) Oslo Reference: No references. It's also a gender neutral name that means "the meadow beneath the hill," or it can mean "Estuary, river mouth, Meadow of the gods" 6.) Cauchemar Reference: No classical references. This song is based on insomnia. Cauchemar means "Nightmare" so it makes sense considering the song's context. In my personal opinion, the album cover really captures the essence of what this song entails of the beheading, and the ending of the song is the aftermath after Judith completed the beheading of the tyrannical ruler Holofernes. Hopefully this helps you understand the meaning of this album/songs. Love your reactions ^^

bit of an overanalyzation of "Oslo", i'd argue, i personally think it's simply called that because Marius is Norwegian and lives in the city

I played that chord and I was like wait a minute I know that....

Album of the year confirmed. Also it's 2 guys, Marius Elfsted and Léo Watremez. And according to Léo, Marius wrote Hestehov (which makes sense since Hestehov is a Norwegian word and he's Norwegian, and also because on their IG there's a video of Marius playing through the riff)

Mirar is just something else, it's crazy and it's good

mirar used to be a one man project but after annunciation it became a band when marius elfstedt joined the band

Franka is my favorite track and one of my favorite moments in the whole EP was in the first track where it does that choppy/synth thing. Love that bands this ambitious are still out there doing there thing in the lab. Can't wait for the next containment breach.

Idk if it was the intent, but Oslo is the capital of Norway
