There is life beyond all the doom and gloom. And it’s yours. In a perfectly time release stunt, British guitar icons Foals reinvent themselves by stripping down their worn-out formula and release a life-embracing record that celebrates moments of dance and togetherness, following the two-year long pandemic break. It’s the right sound for much needed moments of relief and also the start of a new chapter for the band who’s now a trio. NBHAP’s Norman Fleischer met with the group at their recent tour stop in Berlin.
Berlin-based singer-songwriter Luke Noa steps into the spotlight with "Début", his first full-length album. Honest, intimate, and effortlessly melodic, the eight-track release marks a defining moment in his young career. OFFKEY's editor Felicia Ete Aghaye took a closer listen to the record that quietly demands to be heard.
