Bas has always had an eye for antique furniture. Once he even tried to lug an abandoned (and rather sizeable) chest of drawers all the way from East to West Amsterdam on his own. He gave up somewhere near the Amstel, but not before hiding it safely under a bridge to pick it up the next day.

It’s this hunter gatherer side to his character that comes to the fore in the artwork for Gem’s latest album. More specifically it’s about our growing obsession with collecting every piece of information about everything going in the world: how we somehow feel the need to catch up on everything that’s been said on Facebook in the last 24 (or 4) hours, not because it’s particularly interesting or important, but because we just have to have read it, otherwise who knows what we might have missed?
