https://music.suricatemusic.com/disillusion “‘Sticky’ is one of the first tracks written as part of this project. The lyrics express personal frustration and disillusionment in the face of ultimate truths and the realization that all is not what it seemed during younger days. The non-traditional arrangement takes the listener on a swirling prog rock journey that comes to a crushing conclusion.” Taking indie and DIY to the next level, Take and Take is not a one trick pony. He brings proggy deathmetal deeper underground, check out these deep dark growls… glass shattering… Watch “Sticky” at Metal Injection here: |

Starring Eddie Trager on vocals/guitar/bass/drums/keyboards/programming! music and lyrics by Eddie Trager produced by Eddie Trager mixed by Matt Bayles at Red Room, Seattle, USA mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street, Malmo, Sweden The Take & Take debut album Disillusion will be released March 22, 2024. From concept to concrete, all ideas, writing, instrumental and vocal performances, and even the hand drawn cover art was completely produced by Eddie Trager. But he wasn’t totally alone. The legend, the excellent Matt Bayles (who had a hand in some of Eddie’s favorites albums of all time) handled mixing duties at Red Room in Seattle. For mastering, metal production titan Jens Bogren took control at his very own Fascination Street Studios in Malmo, Sweden. The album takes cues from diverse progressive musical influences, artists like Ihsahn, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Opeth, Mastodon, Wilderun, and The Mars Volta, to the vibrant Jacob Collier, the Beatles, Queen, and Yes, while still maintaining a songwriting craft that at times retains pop sensibilities, and at others throws traditional forms out the window. Eddie Trager hopes this album will blow the tops and bottoms off all listeners. About Take & Take: The Ultimate DIY Musician, Eddie Trager does it all! He’s A Singer/Songwriter of kids tunes, ex-Nekrogoblikon member, 2007 to 2016, on drums, percussion, xylophone, glockenspiel, marimba, + credited song writer; drummer for new punk/hardcore band Last Leg; guitarist with China-based rock band The Wailing Coast, the leader of Eddie Spaghetti and the Selfish Bitches and is currently collaborating with Emo/Shoegaze/chamber music artist A Lady Named Isaac. Eddie Trager started Take & Take in 2016 while traveling through the jungles of Antioquia, Colombia. Ideas emerged through the haze, riffed on acoustic guitar, written in midi, or vice versa. Their forms had coalesced in time for live demos during the 2020 lockdown in Xiamen, China. Take & Take is the sound of personal struggle and awakening, of greed and gain, of telling lies and being lied to, of deep disappointment and personal loss, the rise of ego and the inevitable fall. It is also a triumph; a grand “fuck you” to the world shouted with abandon; a poetic testament to the power of heavy music. Take & Take is for those who listen. Listen!
