Every Friday music fans are faced with the same burning question: What to listen to from the sheer endless sea of new albums, EPs and other releases? Don't worry, the people of NBHAP are here to help you with that. Our very own release roundup gives you a quick overview on the music that matters the most this week.
The London-based artists Dodie explores new themes on her latest record "Build A Home". Finally considering herself a musician, the record is one she wrote for herself more than anything else. It is a versatile record full of new-found confidence. NBHAP author Dan Cromb caught up with the artist via Zoom to talk about what moves her.
The Berlin-based artist Lucy Kruger put together a collection of songs for the road. This is not a mixtape for the next roadtrip but one to gaze out of the window of a moving car, caught in motion but still. That melancholia of the in-between is the emotion that the artist's recent LP "Transit Tapes" evokes as well.
The highly addictive pop gem "Backfire" is opening this week's selection of newcomer tracks which also features music from ENNY, Mumble Tide, Selma Judith, Fake Turins, Ida Wenøe and more. Come and give these tunes a spin.
Over the past years Lea Porcelain have become a constant musical force and personal favourite of NBHAP and with their recently released second album "Choirs To Heaven" they underline their status as one of Germany's most exciting musical exports. But what's so special about their music? NBHAP author and longtime fan of the duo, Natálie Zehnalova, went to explore the essence of the two musicians in their spiritual home in Berlin.
It took Norwegian folk duo twelve years to record their long awaited fourth studio album but the result doesn’t disappoint at all. “Peace Or Love” is an intimate, mature yet also beautifully playful continuation of the band’s legacy. And it couldn’t have arrived at a better moment. NBHAP head Norman took a moment to reflect on the new LP.
