Liv Toerkell

How do you keep an overview about the countless new releases in the world of music? Well, easier said than done but thank god the staff of NBHAP keeps an overview. In this column one from the team personnally reflects on the past four weeks and the music that matters during this time. This time it's the turn of Liv Toerkell to ramble about our favourite passion in the world.

Behind every great musician, there are a thousand records that inspired them - in Suzan Köcher's case five thousand. We met the singer and her bandmate Julian Müller in Berlin to find out more about the albums and bands that inspired the making off the latest record 'Suprafon'.

The Berlin-based musicians Jan Wagner and Tobias Preisig took their classical, ambient compositions to another level. In collaboration with the Spatial Media Lab and Zeiss Planetarium, they created a three-dimensional space for music in a very special first edition of SPHEREA. Our editor Liv attended the event and talked with the artists and we're also exclusively debuting a brand new piece from Mr. Wagner.

The Spanish songwriters has been fascinating us for a few months now. Today, Núria Graham is inviting us to the Irish coastline and into her very own world, while she reconnects with her family roots on 'Marjorie', the title-track of her forthcoming new album. We got the first exclusive spin of it for you.

Ahead of her long-awaited record 'Myopia' NBHAP editor Liv sat down with Agnes Obel to chat about her work, dreams and owls. Let's just say it got quite existential.

Alright, it is 2020 now isn’t it? So you should all be ready for some avant-garde shit because Jo Goes Hunting is coming our way and he will not stop. Get to know the young men ahead of his upcoming performance at our new "We Need More Indie" event series.

When you google the name Sailing Stones you will see a whole lot of deserts, sands and documentaries about a mystical natural phenomenon. The stones, which seem to move at first glance, can be explained by the work of physics and water melting underneath them but the name still rings in the ear like magic. Something about the slow, yet continuous movement of the rocks fascinated the musician Jenny Lindfors and she took on the name as a moniker for her musical solo work.

Ten years of music, ten personal stories. The writers of NBHAP are given the opportunity to resume the records that excited them the most during the past decade. This is a subjective reflection rather than an ultimate conclusion. Editor Liv Toerkell now shares her favorites.

This is the story of the probably most important interview I have ever done and I do not even know how and where to start because I am not sure how anything I write could ever live up to the singer I am about to introduce to you.

Uniting photography and music, indie rocker Laura Carbone set out with a camera in her hands to capture unique backstage moments. Before the show she roamed the empty venue and sound checked in a room full of stars. Here is the visual journey to an artist's experience of Synästhesie Festival.
