On February 6, 2026, The SlimP released their new single “Winterday”. The song was written during a winter walk along the Rhine, moving through the cold, with familiar music in the ears. Deine Lakaien were part of that soundtrack, and with them, inevitably, the voice of Alexander Veljanov.

“Winterday” is reduced in its arrangement. Bass and vocals remain at the center, with atmosphere doing most of the work around them. The lyrics move through loss, disorientation and a sense of quiet persistence. Images repeat, almost insistently. “Dancing through the snow” suggests movement but not progress. In the third verse, the song reaches a point where disappointment and collapse are stated plainly, without metaphorical distance.

Background vocals by Silke Burkhard, a longtime friend and first drummer of the band, appear discreetly and add a layer of familiarity and remembrance. There is nostalgia here, but also a certain dryness. As the band’s bassist summed it up: The SlimP have grown older and a little more pathetically.

“Winterday” is closely linked to “With the One”, the second single to be released on February 27, 2026. While “Winterday” remains fixed in a specific moment, “With the One” stretches across time, shaped by delay, distance and retrospection. Both tracks continue the thematic line introduced with “Nothing To Forget” (2025), where memory and erosion first moved into focus.

Following the release of "Center of Your World" earlier this year, and a series of singles showcasing a more introspective side to his songwriting, Fernando's Eyes is back with "Bonus Tracks & Remixes", a compilation reflecting the creative process behind that album. The compilation will be available digitally and as a limited-edition CD on November 21.

 

It gathers together all the remixes produced during the "Center of Your World" sessions, some of which were previously released as B-sides to singles and others which are appearing here for the first time. Alongside these reworkings are several bonus tracks originally intended for the album, including a cover of "Change", the 2013 track by English band White Lies.

 

The release showcases the collaborative nature of Honorato’s music, featuring reinterpretations by artists who have a creative connection to his work, including Danish Post Punk band The Foreign Resort and Finnish artist and multi-instrumentalist Jaakko Eino Kalevi, among others. The result is a cohesive yet exploratory collection suited to reflective listening throughout the autumn and winter months.

 

"Bonus Tracks & Remixes" brings the 'Center of Your World' chapter to a close with warmth and curiosity - a fitting companion to an album that found strength in quiet emotion and left space for new interpretations to emerge.
