There are ups and downs in every band's career but the latter ones are way harder when your start was a furious one. And it looks like many groups from the glorious 00s indie movement are in an ongoing creative crisis.
It became an ongoing tradition on NBHAP to have all those 'End-Of-The-Year'-lists followed by an outlook of what lies ahead of us. So, buckle up and take a closer look what (hopefully) great albums might happen to us over the course of the next months.
After a short summer hiatus here are some records from the previous months that are worth checking out. Every end of the month we are releasing a round up of reviews of recent releases that touched us the most. These are the personal reviews of hand-curated gems our team dug up (and the occasional chart topper). This time including Beyoncé, Xênia França, Interpol, Maggie Rogers, Hot Chip, Julia Jacklin, Kolinga, Working Men's Club, and Ben Shemie.
Acclaimed post-punk trio INTERPOL presents the official music video for Twice As Hard, the final track on their recently released fifth longplayer El Pintor. Frontman Paul Banks himself directed the new video which is set in a gym and shows various boxers training and working out. In combination with the sound of INTERPOL this definitely creates a hypnotic atmosphere. See for yourself right here.
