In spite of being part of the so-called Cologne szene, Xul Zolar have always been, acted and sounded different. In an exclusive interview recorded in the band's rehearsal room, Xul Zolar talk with NBHAP editors Chris Hegholtz and Igor Franjić about how they overcame their inhibitions and created one of this year's finest debut albums, that is 'Fear Talk'.
As the beloved Brit-Pop trio is about to finally release their fourth LP "The Dream", we invited Alt-J keyboarder Gus Unger-Hamilton to share some reflections on his favourite record yet. Celebrating the Kings Of Leon shortly before they went stadium-rock superstars, the musician strongly roots for the 2004 sophomore record "Aha Shake Heartbreak" and kindly shares the advice of giving records more than one superficial listen.
