On their new record "World Wide We", OY take their journey to Earth. The band examines political and structural problems and injustices as well as intimate emotions. Moving feet and minds, OY make music full of hope. This week we are introducing their new record and asked them a few questions about it.
The unconventional artist Nuha Ruby Ra releases her second EP "Machine Like Me". A sonic experiment at its core, the music is driven by playfulness as well as the aim to deconstruct musical boundaries. We spoke to Nuha about the ideas behind the record and its making.
In a matter of reviving a classic songwriter spirit, Norwegian folk artist Signe Marie Rustad’s recent record turns a hopeful spirit into artistic courage and a nostalgic feel. For a new edition of our folk column we took the opportunity to chat her up and let her elaborate on the process, going into the tracks of her new record "Particles Of Faith" in detail. Make sure you also head into the playlist, which she co-curated with us for this occasion.
Tor-Arne and Lasse have left, but frontwoman Hayley Shea is keeping the show on the road with Norway's prowling pop punks reinvented as a musical collective. We caught up with her to chat change and the new EP "AWAKE/ASLEEP".
With determination and musical confidence, Jennifer Touch has already made waves in the Berlin underground scene but that was just the beginning. On her second studio album, the German artist breaks free from her past while emerging in a fascinating new form. Lovers of sinister wave pop shouldn’t miss this record so that’s one reason why we decided to ask her a few questions.
Every end of the month we are releasing a round-up of reviews of recent releases that moved us the most. These are the personal takes on hand-curated gems our team dug up (and the occasional chart topper), this time with artist Black Belt Eagle Scout, Andy Shauf, Krákow Loves Adana, Cat Clyde, Sophie Lindinger and Monako. What will be your favourite?
On her fifth album to date, the Norwegian pop artist is breaking the silence on a past toxic relationship, confronting her fears and channelling her damages to open up to a state of freedom and love, ultimately. We sat down with the musician to let her tell the liberating story.
The Swedish four-piece entered the indie scene with a rush and if they keep up their lively level like on their debut EP "Real Life Human Garbage", this is not going to be the last thing we have seen of these lads. Discover their raucous EP right here along with some other fine indie favourites, which they co-curated for us, featuring Andy Shauf, Fazerdaze, Fenne Lily and more.
