The connection was obvious. Such a choice is not made by chance. In 1990, when saxophonist and composer Achim Gaetjen created his seven-member music ensemble in Bremen a city that really exists in northern Germany the Irishman's book was taken as the source for the band's name. The Irish author's great work, a droll story that appeared in 1939, amused James Joyce, impressed Graham Greene and retained its influence and impact even after O'Brien's death.

Nearly six years separate the predecessor, 'The Bloody Thumb Cookbook', and 'Sweet Relief': six eventful, productive Swim Two Birds years, in which diverse recordings were made that would have deserved an official release, in which the band could be experienced live on numerous occasions all the way to a several-week triumphal Brazil tour at the invitation of the Goethe Institut. Special significance is attached to the title of this long overdue album. The current line-up is the best example: besides the 'old hands' Gaetjen, Benesch and Hart, the band includes musicians with an impressive list of diverse references (Phillip Boa, Frank Zappa, Velvetone, Joachim Witt, etc.), while GU continues the band's tradition of brilliant word artists with an additional highly explosive variant. At the same time the band lives from the pronounced individuality of its members and from their willingness to place their extraordinary abilities at the service of the collective. The decisive key is in Gaetjen's striking compositional guidelines. Despite the change in personnel, in spite of the different, often breathtakingly exciting development phases (songs by Welshman Jasper Hood, 'a German period' with lyrics by Rolf Kirschbaum), the leitmotif was never lost, a forward-surging continuity runs through the band's history.

Sweet relief!! Swim Two Birds, the fourth new ideas from that ominous place in the mind in which all of this here and a lot more is possible.The Irishman: In Conversation is a 2019 documentary short film starring Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.The premise revolves around Scorsese speaking with De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci about their film The Irishman. A creative bunch of this sort simply does not let itself be forced down paths that the music market apparently requires.
