A song about "Rainy Days & Crooked Sheets" feels like an appropriate opener for this week's Monday update of our newcomer playlist, right? Check out the latest single from Hi Crime next to new music by FLOSS, Melby, Amber Jay, Maja Lena and other goodies.
Falasteen Weyn Ana? Palestine where am I? - that is the translation of the Arabic title of Jamila & The Other Heroes' record. Released in May 2023, the title took on a new meaning since the ongoing Israeli bombardment of Gaza after the attacks by Hamas on October 7th. We speak to Jamila Al-Yousef, singer, co-composer and lyricist of the band, about Palestinian resistance, protest music, and the repressions Palestinians face in Germany.
