Liv Toerkell

The current age of self isolation is forcing us to be creative, kill some time and maybe also do something we've never done before. Listening to music can be a great way of coping with the current situation and we decided to make a little challenge out of it. NBHAP editor Liv starts her journey to explore bands she has never explored before by giving the mighty back catalogue of alternative/noise rock icons Sonic Youth some attention.

Here is an artist for the 'Super Sad Generation'. Arlo Parks sings out of the hearts and souls of millenials struggling with hopeless love, overwhelming influences, and self-exploration. We met the singer ahead of her very first headlining show in Berlin.

The German composer Niklas Paschburg takes us on a journey to a place where the sun never shines, into the blue, with his latest album 'Svalbard'. NBHAP editor Liv Toerkell sat down with the artist in the middle of the night to dive beyond the surface of the art. Enjoy the first edition of our new "Late Night Talks" series.

The musician Koki Nakano delicately combines the art of instrumental music with contemporary dance. We're debuting the second single off his forthcoming LP 'Pre-Choreographed' and share a some insights into his process of writing 'Near-Perfect Synchronization'.

Following the release of their critically acclaimed sophomore LP 'Every Bad', we sat down with Porridge Radio. Lead singer and band founder, Dana Margolin gives us a little insight into the inspirations of the record, existential thoughts and her unique vocal style.

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.
