How can hype and expectation shape the music we hear? After one year of teasing, Thom Yorke and his indie elite company make their case with a debut that is in equal parts messy as it is spellbinding. For our new deep dive column, NBHAP author Nils Heutehaus took the time to jot down his notes on one of the most splendid 2022 musical happenings and he kindly invites you to take the journey with him.
The strange, warped electronica of "Run" opens a door into 'There's A Girl Inside My Brain Who Wants To Die', the debut album from Norway's Hôy La. Check it out on top of our playlist along with other songs from ÄTNA, Sweet Tempest, Lea Kampmann, Gracie Gray, Karim Eid, Gia Lily and more.
